Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Count total and purple squares

The grid is \(10 \times 10\), so total squares \(= 10\times10 = 100\). Purple squares: count the shaded ones, which is \(5\) (first row, columns 6 - 10).

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage \(=\frac{\text{Purple squares}}{\text{Total squares}}\times100=\frac{5}{100}\times100 = 5\%\).

Answer:

\(5\%\)
