Explanation:

Step1: Shade 26 grid squares

The grid has 100 total squares, so shade 26 of them (the first 2 rows are 20 squares, plus 6 more in the third row, totaling 26).

Step2: Convert percent to decimal

Divide by 100: $26\% = \frac{26}{100} = 0.26$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator/denominator by GCD 2: $\frac{26\div2}{100\div2} = \frac{13}{50}$

Answer:

1. Shaded grid: 26 out of 100 squares are shaded (as described, first 2 full rows (20 squares) + 6 squares in the third row)
2. Decimal form: $0.26$
3. Simplified fraction: $\frac{13}{50}$
