Marcie:

Try to use this code:

var theField = this.getField("hours");
var theValue = this.getField("percent");
theValue.value = (theField.value)/40;

Load the code in the custom calculate javascript of
the field "percent".

One other thing - you used this code but said that
your fields were named "Hours" and "Percent" with
the first letter in capital - I believe that this is
different in javascript from "hours and "percent"

var theField = this.getField("hours");
var theValue = this.getField("percent");
