Not enough, wish my money was with your bank.
Seriously though, and hugely simplified... take two zeros off 100 to make 1, similarly do the same to 4000 to get 40. Works nicely with 1% and 10%.
Normally, "(X divided by 100) multiplied by Y". Where X is, in this case, your monetary amount and Y is your percentage.
Edit - Following your note, unless she was being hugely pedantic and wanted £40.00p as an answer, then no, no pence involved.
Further Edit - If it's a job you applied for, I've had the misfortune of having to do a numeracy test for a job application at a bank before. They're normally fairly common sense questions and aren't supposed to catch you out. |

1/100 = 40/4000 therefore 1% of 4000 = 40 pounds
Now, Im hoping you are 12 or under... because you should have known this otherwise |

40 quid
1% = .01
of = times
4,000 x .01 = 40
how does someone so stupid have 4000 pounds in the bank? |

£39.60 at a guess. My bank charged me 2.5% on a currency transaction. How they calculated it was to call the total 102.5% then work it out that way. It struck me as odd at the time but a friend who works for a bank confirmed that this was a common practise.
Obviously designed to confuse customers and prevent them working out their charges! |

i DON'T THINK IT'S THAT SILLY, 1% = 100th so 4000/100 = £40 |

£40 1% is one pound in every hundred, So if you get £4000 the bank will deduct £4040 from your account... |

£40
4000 / 100 x 1 = 40
...
if the bank took 2% you would do
4000 / 100 x 2 = |
