The four-firm ratio is the concentration ratio between the total sales accumulated by the four largest industrial firms to the total sales of all firms present in an industry. This translates to the mathematical expression of

four-firm ratio = (total sales of four largest firms / total sales)

Since, we are given that all 10 firms have the same sales, we let the sales be equal to x.

total sales of four largest firms = 4x
total sales = 10x

The ratio is then,

four-firm ratio = 4/10

Converting this to percentage will yield us an answer of 40%.

Read the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth's Address to the Troops at Tilbury.

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which, rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.

In this excerpt, Queen Elizabeth is attempting to persuade troops that she

dislikes most European countries.
has the qualities of a capable leader.
is physically able to fight as a soldier.
will make a fair and virtuous judge.
