EZ PZ. Just split twice:

let a = "551230(95.169%)".split("(")[1].split("%")[0]

console.log(a)

string is an array, you can always get characters from it

var oldstring = "551230(95.169%)"
var newstring = "";

for(i=7;i<14;i++)
{
newstring+=oldstring[i];
}

console.log(newstring);

If you don't know the length of the string, you can create a regex pattern to extract the characters between the parentheses.

\((.*?)\)

would work
