0.25 of 1 percent

0.25 is $$\frac{1}{4}$$. 1 percent is $$\frac{1}{100}$$

Of means multiplication.

0.25 of 1 percent = $$\frac{1}{400}$$

0.25 of 1% is equal to say $$0.25*\frac{1}{100}$$ = $$\frac{0.25}{100}$$ = $$\frac{25}{(100*100)}$$ = $$\frac{1}{400}$$

I am not a native English speaker, and is a bit confused towards the meaning "of."
In terms of 1/5, you say one of five, right? Is there any way to distinguish?
