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

First 2 full rows: $2 \times 10 = 20$; Partial row: 4 cells. Total pink cells: $20 + 4 = 24$

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = $\frac{\text{Pink Cells}}{\text{Total Cells}} \times 100\% = \frac{24}{100} \times 100\%$

Answer:

24%
