A percent is just a fraction converted to be expressed as parts per hundred.
E.g.
Three quarters (3/4) is equivalent to (3x25) / (4x25) = 75/100 = 75%
0.123 = 12.3 / 100 = 12.3%
If you fill a 5 gallon container to 80% of its capacity it will contain 5 x 80% = 5 x (80/100) = 4 gallons.
If you score 45 correct answers out of a possible 90 questions your score, expressed as a percentage, is (45/90) x 100 = 50%
Percent is a proportional amount in relation to a whole, based on the whole amount being 100. For example, 50 percent of something is 50 of 100, which is equal to one half, and 75 percent equals 75 of 100, or three quarters.
