Hi,

Mathematically, percentages are either numbers or ratios that are expressed as fractions of 100. They are usually denoted as "%" or simply "percent." They may be further represented as simple fractions or as decimal fractions. An example of a percentage is 65% or 65 percent.

The term percentage was formed from two words, “per” and “cent.” Cent is a word with Latin and French origin that means "hundred," and "percent" means "per hundred." For example, 90 percent (or 90%) means 90 out of 100 while 50 percent (or 50%) means 50 out of 100 or half of a whole.

Hope this helps

Wish you luck
