Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Count total and green squares

Assume the grid is \(10\times10 = 100\) squares (total). Count green: Let's see, the green part: columns - say 7 full columns (710=70) and then 8 in the 8th column? Wait, no, looking at the grid: width - let's count the green columns. The grid has 10 columns (since 10x10). The green columns: first 7 columns (710=70), and then in the 8th column, how many? Wait, the white part: let's see, the white squares are in the last 3 columns? Wait, no, the grid is 10 columns (x-axis) and 10 rows (y-axis). Let's count the green squares:

Looking at the image: the green area is 7 columns (each with 10 squares) plus 8 squares in the 8th column? Wait, no, maybe better: total squares \(10\times10 = 100\). White squares: let's count. The white part: columns 8,9,10? Wait, no, in column 8, how many white? Let's see, the white squares are: in column 8, rows 3 - 10? No, wait, the green is from column 1 to 7 (7 columns, 7*10=70), and then in column 8, rows 1 - 8 are green, rows 9 - 10 are white? Wait, no, maybe the white squares are: column 8: 2 white (rows 9 and 10), column 9: 10 white, column 10: 10 white? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the grid is 10 columns (1 - 10) and 10 rows (1 - 10). Let's count white squares:

Wait, the white squares are: in column 8, rows 9 and 10 (2 squares), column 9: 10 squares, column 10: 10 squares? No, that would be 2 + 10 + 10 = 22, but that doesn't make sense. Wait, maybe the green is 7 columns (7*10=70) plus 8 squares in column 8 (since column 8 has 8 green, 2 white), and columns 9 and 10 are all white (10 each). Wait, no, columns 9 and 10: are they all white? Let's see, the image: the green is up to column 7 (7 columns, 70), column 8: 8 green (rows 1 - 8), column 9: 0 green, column 10: 0 green? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the white squares are: column 8: 2 (rows 9,10), column 9: 10, column 10: 10? No, that's 2+10+10=22, so green is 100 - 22 = 78? Wait, no, maybe I miscounted. Wait, let's do it properly:

Total squares: \(10 \times 10 = 100\).

White squares: Let's look at the white area. The white squares are in the last 3 columns? No, column 8 has some white, column 9 and 10 all white? Wait, column 8: how many white? Let's see, the green in column 8: rows 1 - 8 (8 squares), so white in column 8: 10 - 8 = 2. Column 9: 10 white, column 10: 10 white. So total white: 2 + 10 + 10 = 22? No, that's not right. Wait, maybe column 8 has 8 green, column 9 has 0, column 10 has 0? No, the image shows that the white part is a smaller area. Wait, maybe the grid is 10 columns (x) and 10 rows (y). Let's count the green squares:

Looking at the image: the green columns are 7 full columns (7*10=70) and then in the 8th column, 8 squares (rows 1 - 8), so total green: 70 + 8 = 78? Wait, no, maybe the white squares are 22? No, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's count again. Let's see the white squares:

In the 8th column (from left, column 8), how many white? Let's see, the green in column 8: rows 1 - 8 (8 green), rows 9 - 10 (2 white). Then column 9: all 10 white, column 10: all 10 white? No, that can't be, because column 9 and 10 would be 20 white, plus 2 in column 8: 22 white. So green is 100 - 22 = 78. So 78%.

Wait, maybe the white squares are: column 8: 2, column 9: 10, column 10: 10? No, that's 22. So green is 78.

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage of green = (Number of green squares / Total squares) * 100.

Number of green squares = 78 (assuming total 100). So (78 / 100) * 100 = 78%.

Answer:

78%
