I always say it means "for every hundred."
Per = for
cent (dollar, century) = 100.
Percent – think of Purr
– Cent.
One Hundred Cats.
1 cat = 1 PurrCent.
1/100 is... 1 %
9/100 is 9 %
18/100 is 18 %
I have to shut our 100 cats in the basement at night because they makes too much noise.
Remembering that we put ALWAYS put cats in the basement...
So here's a question...
What is 18% of 25?
18 X 25
100 (basement)
18 x 25 = 450
Now divide 450 by those 100 pesky cats down in that basement!
450 divided by 100 = 4.5
Answer - 18% of 25 is 4.5
Work SMART, not HARD
