Introduction to Percentage
A percent is nothing but a fraction having 100 in it's denominator. When a number is expressed in the percent form, it is called percentage.It is derived from a Latin word Per centum, and it's denoted as %.
Let's take some example to discuss more on the basics of percentage.
John got 86 marks out of 100 in a math exam, then the percent of mark in mathematics = 86⁄100 = 86 %
Bob got 91 marks out of 100 in the same exam, then the percent of mark = 91⁄100 = 91%
Since 91% is greater than 86%, we conclude that Bob s performance is better than John in mathematics exam.
The use of percent makes comparison easier as it is just like comparing whole numbers.
