When n=24n = 24, there are 242=57624^2 = 576 gray tiles, each with an area of s2s^2 square inches. Together the tiles cover an area of 242s224^2 s^2 square inches. Each side of the large square region spans 24 tiles plus 25 borders for a side length of 24s+25d24s + 25d inches, giving a total area of (24s+25d)2(24s + 25d)^2 square inches. It is given that the gray tiles cover 64%64\% of the total area. It follows that

Answer

A. 625\frac{6}{25}
