The problem asks how many gold coins Sasha had if there were 40 coins in total. Based on the pie chart, 35% of the coins were gold.

To solve this:

1. Convert 35% to a decimal:  
   \[ 35\% = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35 \]

2. Multiply the total number of coins (40) by 0.35:  
   \[ 0.35 \times 40 = 14 \]

So, there were 14 gold coins.
