Explanation:

Step1: Count total grid squares

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

Step2: Count pink grid squares

Top 4 full rows: $4 \times 10 = 40$. 5th row has 7 pink squares. Total pink = $40 + 7 = 47$

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = $\frac{\text{Pink Squares}}{\text{Total Squares}} \times 100\% = \frac{47}{100} \times 100\%$

Answer:

47%
