ten percent
Dime per dollar
Ten percent is the portion equal to one-tenth of a whole, often used as a benchmark or standard share.
Agents, managers, and brokers traditionally take ten percent as commission: My agent gets ten percent of everything I earn.
The phrase also appears in tipping contexts and religious tithing, where giving ten percent is customary.
