Each big square below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area

Personally, I believe it is 173% because:
Percent means per-hundred. Each big square is split into 100 equal pieces, or hundredths. So, each of the small squares represents 1%. 173 hundredths are shaded. 173 hundredths = 173 per hundred = 173%.
The shaded area represents 119%
Given :
Each big square below represents one whole
In the first square , all the small boxes are shades . so we can say that 100% is shaded in the first big square.
In the second big square , we can see that 19 small boxes are shaded out of 100 small boxes.
so we can say that 19% of the second big square is shaded
100%+19%= 119%
119% represents the shaded area
