The percent sign is an ambiguation of the number 100 meaning the number in question is a proportion of 100. Additionally 'per cent' means 'of one hundred'.
Its origins lie in ancient Greek, though there is no clear indication of a single person introducing the sign.
Recorde introduced the equal sign in 1557
Percent sign (%) is read as percent.

Percent is abbreviated pct. or the sign %
To multiply 6.5 percent without the percent sign, you can divide the percent value by 100. Therefore, multiplying 6.5 percent is the same as multiplying 0.065.
The proper place to put a percent sign in a range is as follows: 40-60% The percent sign is not used after both ranges (40 and 60) when ranges are used. However, when a percentage range is not being described, such as 40 percent, it is acceptable to place the percent sign immediately following the digits (60 percent; 60%), or a space may be used between the digits and the sign (60 %).
