$\sf{\huge{\underline{\green{Answer :-}}}}$

Let the number be x,

According to the question,

We have, 56% of a number is 259.84.

56% of x = 259.84

➝ 56/100 × x = 259.84

➝ 0.56 × x = 259.84

➝ x = 259.84 / 0.56

➝ x = 464

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\green{Verification :-}}}}$

56% of x = 259.84

We have, x = 464

➝ 56/100 × 464 = 259.84

➝ 0.56 × 464 = 259.84

➝ 259.84 = 259.84
