Problem

A percent bar is labeled with a whole of \(150\). The bar shows \(40\%\) shaded. How many items does the shaded part represent?

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

The full bar represents one hundred fifty items, while four of its ten equal sections are shaded. We’ll find the value of one ten-percent section, scale that amount to the four shaded sections, and label the result as items. Multiplying the whole by the decimal form of forty percent provides a direct check.
