Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Percentages can be represented in Hundred Grid. It is a 10*10 grid that helps solves problems like yours.

In your case, it says 'Which figure represents 40% ?'

This means that you must shade 4 whole columns.

Because number 1, Each row or column contains 10 squares which can also represent 10%. And if you were to shade 2 rows or columns that would mean it is 20%.

So to sum it up:

4 whole columns = 40% out of 100

So a hundred grid with 4 columns of ten square shaded should be your answer.

I'm always happy to help!
