E. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

- When you encounter questions that state "what percent of [a] is [b]"  then it means asking for a fraction of b to a, which is "(b/a)×100%".

- If you are still confused, I would provide some examples

Solve:

(16/40)×100% = 0.4 × 100% = 40%

Hope this helps!! :)
