what percentage of the shape is blue? \nwrite your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Count total squares

The grid is a 10x10 square, so total squares = (10\times10 = 100).

Step2: Count blue squares

First 5 rows: 3 blue each, so (5\times3 = 15). Next 4 rows: 2 blue each, so (4\times2 = 8). Last row: 2 blue. Total blue = (15 + 8+ 2=25).

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = (\frac{\text{Blue squares}}{\text{Total squares}}\times100=\frac{25}{100}\times100 = 25%).

Answer:

25%
