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.
