As written, r[t] is not defined at t == 0, therefore

> c[t], d[t]}, {t, 0, 400}]

returns the following error message:
NDSolve::ndnum: Encountered non-numerical value for a derivative at t == 
0.`.

Also, since r[t] is not defined for t == 400, you should restrict the 
interval to {t, 0, 339}, say.

In[1]:=
r[t_]:=0/;(t>=0)&&(t<100)
r[t_]:=10/;(t>100)&&(t<110)
r[t_]:=2.5/;(t>110)&&(t<200)
r[t_]:=0/;(t>200)&&(t<400)

In[5]:=
sol=NDSolve[{b'[t]\[Equal]30a'[t],c'[t]\[Equal]10a[
         t](100-c[t])-0.3c[t],d'[t]\[Equal]400a[t],
         a'[t]+b'[t]+c'[t]+d'[t]\[Equal]r[t],a[0]\[Equal]0,
       b[0]\[Equal]0,c[
         0]\[Equal]0,d[0]\[Equal]0},{a[t],b[t],c[t],d[t]},{t,0,399}]

Out[5]=
{{a[t]\[Rule]
       InterpolatingFunction[{{0.,399.}},<>][t],b[t]\[Rule]\
InterpolatingFunction[{{0.,399.}},<>][t],c[
     t]\[Rule]InterpolatingFunction[{{0.,399.}},<>][t],d[t]\[Rule]\
InterpolatingFunction[{{0.,399.}},<>][t]}}
{t, 0, 399}]

In[8]=
Plot[Evaluate[{a[t], b[t], c[t], d[t]} /. sol[[1]]], {t, 0, 399}, 
PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True]
