fifty percent
One of two
Fifty percent is half of something, expressed as a proportion: Fifty percent of the vote went to the incumbent.
The phrase often emphasizes precision or formality where "half" would sound too casual, particularly in statistics, business, or technical contexts.
There's a fifty percent chance of rain sounds more scientific than "half a chance."
