Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Count total squares

Assume the grid is \(10\times10\), total squares \(n = 10\times10=100\).

Step2: Count pink squares

Count pink squares, \(m = 35\).

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage formula: \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{m}{n}\times100\%\). Substitute \(m = 35\), \(n = 100\): \(\frac{35}{100}\times100\% = 35\%\).

Answer:

35%
