Yes. percentage is a unit for a ratio.

100% ( 100 percent ) equals the normalized form of a ratio of 1/1 (one to one) which is 1.0.

50% ( 50 percent ) equals the normalized form of a ratio of 1/2 (one to two) which is 0.5.

Scaling a value by a normalized ratio can be archived by simple multiplication.

22 * 0.5

Scaling a value by a percentage value can be archived by normalizing the percentage value first by divion by 100:

percentage value / 100 = normalized value

50 / 100 = 0.5

other units for a ratio are:

Per mille (‰) 1 part in 1,000

Basis point (‱) 1 part in 10,000

Per cent mille (pcm) 1 part in 100,000

Parts-per notation

Concentration

Grade (slope)

If the unit selling price is $2.50 and the unit cost is $1.00 what action is needed to maintain the gross margin percentage when the unit cost increases $0.25?

To maintain the gross margin percentage when the unit cost increases from $1.00 to $1.25, the unit selling price must also be adjusted. The new selling price can be calculated to ensure the gross margin percentage remains the same. Specifically, if the original gross margin percentage is maintained, the new selling price would need to be set at approximately $2.75 to keep the same margin percentage.
