250

25% of 1,000 = 250

Working: 1,000 × 0.25 = 250

25 percent of 1,000 is 250.

To find a percentage of a number, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, then multiply. Here that is 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25, and 1,000 × 0.25 = 250.

There is usually a faster mental route. Ten percent of 1,000 is 100 — just move the decimal point one place left. Half of that ten percent is 50, so 25% is 100 × 2 plus 50, giving 250.

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.

A thousand is the cleanest amount to reason about after a hundred, since one percent is exactly ten. Most people find percentages of larger sums easiest by first scaling to a thousand, taking the percentage, then scaling back — which avoids the decimal-place errors that cause most mistakes.
