When you scale a coordinate point \((x, y)\) by a factor of 0.25, each coordinate is multiplied by 0.25. The scale factor can be expressed as a percentage by following these steps:
1. Convert the scale factor (0.25) to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
\[
0.25 \times 100 = 25\%
\]
So, the correct scale factor as a percentage for scaling by a factor of 0.25 is **25%**.
