Percent - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Percent

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

Percent means out of one hundred. It is often shown with the symbol "%". It is used even if there are not a hundred items. The number is then scaled so it can be compared to one hundred. For instance, three out of four is 75 percent.

[change] Uses

Percentages are useful because people can compare things that aren't out of the same number. For example, exam marks are often percentages, so people can compare them even if there are more questions on one exam paper than the other.
