40%

Explanation:

First and foremost; percent is a fraction but a special one where the bottom number (denominator) is fixed at 100.

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However 1 comes in many forms.

0.4xx1 color(white)("d")-> color(white)("d")0.4xx100/100 = 40/100

This is the same as: 40color(white)("d")ubrace(xx1/100)
color(white)("ddddddddddddddddddd")darr
color(white)("ddddddddddddddd")40color(white)("dd.")%

% is another way of writing xx1/100 including the multiply
