Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Count total grid cells

The grid is 10x10, so total cells = $10 \times 10 = 100$

Step2: Count pink grid cells

Count pink cells: top 7 rows (70 cells) + 4 cells in 8th row = $70 + 4 = 74$

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = $\frac{\text{Pink Cells}}{\text{Total Cells}} \times 100\% = \frac{74}{100} \times 100\%$

Answer:

74%
