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%.

25% * 40 =

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