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%.
