Question

what percentage of the shape is orange?
write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Count total grid squares

The grid is a 10x10 square, so total squares: $10 \times 10 = 100$

Step2: Count white grid squares

There are 4 white squares.

Step3: Calculate orange square count

Subtract white from total: $100 - 4 = 96$

Step4: Convert to percentage

Since total is 100, orange count = percentage: $\frac{96}{100} \times 100\% = 96\%$

Answer:

96%
