The word percent means out of a hundred.

------------------------------

The percentage can be defined as fraction to 100; examples:

- vodka contain 40 % alcohol

The meaning is: vodka contain (for 1oo mL) 40 mL alcohol and 60 mL water.

- the price is increased with 5 %

The meaning is: if the price of an object was 100 $, the increased price is 105 $.
