Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to to assume fundamental information and give one example for your better understanding.

My answer:

Given that Lesley’s fruit salad contains 40% grapes and which figure represents 40%?

To have the question answered, we need to know the total amount of Lesley’s fruit salad is how much?

If the total amount is a (grams)

=> the amount of grape is:
(a*40)/(100) = 0.4a (grams)

For example, Lesley's has 100 gram of mixed salads which are grapes, cabbage, tomato. Lesley’s fruit salad contains 40% grapes. Which figure represents 40%

=>The figure represents 40% is:
(100*40)/(100) = 40 grams.

Hope it will find you well.
