What is 25 percent of 559?
Answer: 139.75
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 25 percent of 559 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 25% of 559
25% can also be written as 25/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 25/100 × 559
Or, X = 0.25 × 559
So, X = 139.75

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 = 139.75/559 × 100
Or, RHS = 0.25 × 100
So, RHS = 25
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
