#25#%

The percent - i.e. per-hundred - is #100# times the per-unit proportion. That is:

#100 * 98/392 = 100 * color(red)(cancel(color(black)(98)))/(4 * color(red)(cancel(color(black)(98)))) = 100/4 = 25#

#25%#

To work out a percentage we can use the formula:

#"part"/"whole"xx100%#

#therefore##rArr 98/392 xx100%#

#rArr 1/4 xx100%=25%#
