as far as i am concerned they come from fractions!

This morning when I was reading the scripture portion from Luke 21:1-4, it quickly flashed to me that the percentage calculation traces back to our Lord Jesus Christ, because He declared that the woman has put more than all the others. I assume that all the rich and wealthy people might have put 1-10% of their wealth and possessions(restricting to tithe), whereas the woman put two small copper coins which is 100% of her possessions.
