Question

read the problem.

pick the model that represents the problem.
how many treats are in a bag of bark bites?
treats

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables and relationship

Let $x$ = total treats. 40% of $x$ = 12, so $0.4x = 12$.

Step2: Solve for total treats

Rearrange to solve for $x$: $x = \frac{12}{0.4}$

Step3: Calculate the value

$x = 30$

Step4: Identify correct model

The second model has 12 at 40% (matches given) and? at 100% (total treats).

Answer:

Correct model: The bottom (blue) bar graph with 12 at 40% and? at 100%
Total number of treats: 30
