Read Counts, Then Shares

Start with three category counts: email has 6, search has 3, and ads has 1. The count bars show the raw size of each category. Then divide each count by the total of 10. The share bars show email at 60 percent, search at 30 percent, and ads at 10 percent.

A tiny share readout: start from pinned category counts, compare the count bars, then convert the same counts into shares of the total.
