To solve the equation \( ?\% \times 40 = 4 \), we can convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Let \( x \) represent the percentage:

\[
\frac{x}{100} \times 40 = 4
\]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[
\frac{40x}{100} = 4
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
40x = 4 \times 100
\]

\[
40x = 400
\]

Now, divide both sides by 40:

\[
x = \frac{400}{40} = 10
\]

Thus, \( x = 10\% \).

Looking at the options:

A. 20%
B. 25%
C. 10%
D. 50%

The correct answer is **C. 10%**.

To calculate \(25\% \times 40\):

First, convert the percentage to a decimal:

\[
25\% = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25
\]

Now, multiply by 40:

\[
0.25 \times 40 = 10
\]

Therefore, \(25\% \times 40 = 10\).
