 Percent means parts per 100 The symbol is % Example: 25% means 25 per 100 (25% of this box is green) So it tells you a ratio "out of 100" Example: 10% means 10 out of every 100, so when 10% of people have ice cream that means that 10 out of every 100 people have ice cream. If there were 500 people then 50 would have ice cream. | |
