Given:

Mixture contains milk = 4 parts

Mixture contains water = 1 parts

Total mixture = 4 + 1 = 5 parts

Percentages of milk = Mixture contains milkTotal mixture×100\dfrac{\text{Mixture contains milk}}{\text{Total mixture}} \times 100%

= 45×100\dfrac{4}{5} \times 100%

= 4005\dfrac{400}{5}%

= 8080%

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
