In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin: per centum, "by a hundred") is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%",[1] although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct" and sometimes "pc" are also used.[2] A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number); it has no unit of measurement.
