What is 25 percent of 1266?
Answer: 316.5
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 25 percent of 1266 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 25% of 1266
25% can also be written as 25/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 25/100 × 1266
Or, X = 0.25 × 1266
So, X = 316.5
So, 25% of 1266 is 316.5

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 25
RHS = 316.5/1266 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.25 × 100
So, RHS = 25
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
