Q. What is a percentage?

Ans.

Percent means "per hundred", or "out of 100". A percentage can be written as a ratio, or fraction, where the denominator (bottom) is 100.

The symbol "%" means percent, so when you see this symbol following a number, you are actually talking about some amount over 100, or what you call a percentage.
