Can you change the base number from 100 to something else with %'s

Technically this answer is incorrect. Though it probably provides what the
OP was requesting.

From a technical standpoint the base of a percent is by definition 100.
(Cent=100)

Using your examples

10/40 = 25% means 25 per hundred not per forty

If the base were 40 then the "perforty" would be 10.
