Answer:

The local newspaper has 250 readers in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Letter to the editor = 10

Also it is given that 10 is the 4% of total readers of the newspaper.

Let x be the number of readers of the newspaper

It can be written as:

10 = 4\%\ of\ x

Converting the percentage into decimal

10 = 0.04x\\\frac{10}{0.04} = \frac{0.04x}{0.04}\\x = 250

The newspaper has 250 readers.

Hence,
