a=side length of small pentagon  b=side length of big pentagon  b=2a sin 54°  a=2r sin 36° ⇒r=(a/(2 sin 36°))  b=2R sin 36° ⇒R=(b/(2 sin 36°))=((a sin 54°)/(sin 36°))  total area =((5 R^2  sin 72°)/2)+((a^2 sin 72°)/2)  shaded area=((5 r^2  sin 72°)/2)−((a^2 sin 72°)/2)  ((shaded)/(total))=((5r^2 −a^2 )/(5R^2 +a^2 ))=((5((r/a))^2 −1)/(5((R/a))^2 +1))    =((5((1/(2 sin 36°)))^2 −1)/(5(((sin 54°)/(sin 36°)))^2 +1))=(1/4)=25%  ⇒answer b)
