Let's assume that each tile is a unit square. There 25 such tiles in the blue square. So, area of blue square is 2 5 .
Area of all four triangles :
( 2 1 × 2 × 3 ) A + ( 2 1 × 2 × 1 ) B + ( 2 1 × 2 × 2 ) C + ( 2 1 × 3 × 1 ) D
⟹ A r e a = 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 . 5 = 7 . 5
Percentage pink = 2 5 7 . 5 × 1 0 0 = 3 0 %
