depreciation and Percentage of time I use rental house for this business...room rented in my house

Hello. I have three rooms I rent in my house and I live in the other. I have calculated that percent rented is 42.5%. and the rooms are rented for the entire year. 

 

In turbotax for schedule E I have selected that I am renting part of my home. 

 

I have my rental house as an asset. It asks me for the Percentage of time I used this item for this business in 2020..

Is it referring to the entire house, or just the rented portion?   i dont know if I put 100% or 42.5% here...

If  I enter 100%, when I go back to the asset, the depreciation is too high, its basically 100% of the house being depreciated. However, I don´t know if turbotax is adjusting that number properly on another screen.  (multiplying it by the rental % and I am just not seeing it

 

grateful for guidance. thank you!
