percentages
Parts per hundred
Percentages are proportions expressed as parts per hundred.
A percentage represents a fraction with 100 as the denominator: 25 percent equals one quarter.
The word covers both the concept and specific figures: What percentage of voters turned out?
The percentages don't add up.
In plural, percentages often refers to statistical odds or probable outcomes: The percentages favor the incumbent.
