Problem
Margie's winning art design is shown. The smallest circle has radius 2 inches, with each successive circle's radius increasing by 2 inches. Approximately what percent of the design is black?
![[asy] real d=320; pair O=origin; pair P=O+8*dir(d); pair A0 = origin; pair A1 = O+1*dir(d); pair A2 = O+2*dir(d); pair A3 = O+3*dir(d); pair A4 = O+4*dir(d); pair A5 = O+5*dir(d); filldraw(Circle(A0, 6), white, black); filldraw(circle(A1, 5), black, black); filldraw(circle(A2, 4), white, black); filldraw(circle(A3, 3), black, black); filldraw(circle(A4, 2), white, black); filldraw(circle(A5, 1), black, black); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/4/4/34420ee5e67e87663563a3047fde204ba36cff7f.png)
Solution
\[\begin{tabular}{c|cc}
\text{circle #} & radius & area \\ \hline
1 & 2 & 4\pi \\
2 & 4 & 16\pi \\
3 & 6 & 36\pi \\
4 & 8 & 64\pi \\
5 & 10 & 100\pi \\
6 & 12 & 144\pi
\end{tabular}\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
The entire circle's area is 
. The area of the black regions is 
. The percentage of the design that is black is 
.
