If you have 10 squares and each is shaded 40 percent, then each square has 40 percent of its area shaded. To find the total shaded area in all 10 squares, you can multiply the percentage shaded by the number of squares. Therefore, 40 percent of 10 squares means that the total shaded area across all squares is equivalent to 4 full squares being shaded.
Think of the following 'sketch' as your 40 boxes... Each X represents one box. Each O represents a shaded box. XXXXXXXXOO XXXXXXXXOO XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
