Do the words ten and percent rhyme?

Technically no--for one of two reasons: 1) to "rhyme," two words must have the same "rhyme sound," preceded by a different "consonantal sound" and 2) the accent must be on the same syllable. (Note: the different preceding consonantal sound in the two words are "t" in "ten" and "c" in "-cent.") The rhyme sound in "ten" is "-en" and in "per-cent" is "-ent." "-en and "-ent" clearly are different rhyme sounds because of the "t" in "-ent." In pronouncing "percent," the accented syllable is arguably the second syllable "-cent" and thus that part of the definition of a rhyme is met, but the rhyme still fails because of the first part of the definition of a rhyme.

What rhymes with threatening?

When you have a word with 2 or 3 syllables, you should look for rhyming words with a similar number of syllables. For example, led would rhyme with bed. But even though "threatened" ends with the "-ed" sound, it would not rhyme well with the words bed or led. However, many longer words ending with "-ed" would work well as rhyming words.
