A percentage ( % ) is the expression of a number as a fraction of 100. The word "percent" is derived from the Latin meaning "per hundred."

Contributor's note: to find the percentage of any real number, simply multiply that number by 1/100 of the percentage. For instance, to find 5% of 1560, simply multiply 1560 by 0.05

1560 x 0.05 = 78

5% - multiply by 0.05

53% - multiply by 0.53

99% - multiply by 0.99

100% - multiply by 1
