"Percent" - For details read the explanation given below.
Ratios represented by Fractions can be compared only if they share a common denominator, which is not often. This need for a common denominator to compare ratios and fractions gave rise to the concept of percent (cent meaning hundred). An equivalent representation of all the ratios with a common denominator of 100 would make them easily comparable, and such representations with a common denominator got abbreviated by just the numerators being written followed by %, which is the sign allocated to "percent". In this manner percentages compare numbers in the numerator to 100 and the ratio that compares a number to 100 is logically called percent.
