Question

what percentage of the shape is purple?
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 purple grid cells

Top 6 full rows: $6 \times 10 = 60$; 7th row has 2 purple cells. Total purple = $60 + 2 = 62$

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = $\frac{\text{Purple Cells}}{\text{Total Cells}} \times 100\% = \frac{62}{100} \times 100\%$

Answer:

62%
