First, some definitions . . .

"Per" means 'for' or 'for every'.

"Cent" comes from 'centum' which means one hundred.

So . . . per cent means 'for every hundred'. 50 percent means 50 for every hundred, or 50/100. This can be simplified to 1/2 (or one-half) by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 50.
