25 percent of 100 is 25.

Twenty-five percent is a quarter, which makes it one of the few percentages easier to work out by division than multiplication: divide by four rather than multiplying by 0.25. Quarter-off is a standard retail discount tier and a common deposit fraction.

One hundred is the amount that makes percentages trivial, because a percentage is literally 'per hundred' — the percentage and the answer are the same number. That is the whole origin of the notation, and working an example at 100 first is the fastest way to sanity-check any other amount.
