Using data samples collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 4.23, 4.26, 4.36, and 4.42 GeV, we measure the branching fractions of η c → K þ K − π 0 , K 0 S K AE π ∓ , 2ðπ þ π − π 0 Þ, and pp, via the process e þ e − → π þ π − h c , h c → γη c. The corresponding results are ð1.15 AE 0.12 AE 0.10Þ%, ð2.60 AE 0.21 AE 0.20Þ%, ð15.2 AE 1.8 AE 1.7Þ%, and ð0.120 AE 0.026 AE 0.015Þ%, respectively. Here the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second ones systematic. Additionally, the charged track multiplicity of η c decays is measured for the first time.
