👉 A percentage, a proportion (especially per hundred).
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek, At this word ‘percent,’ it’s simple and sleek! The dictionary tells us, with a helpful plea, “A percentage is a proportion, you see!” Now, “proportion” means how much compared to what? Like saying "half" of something, that's where we start. But "per hundred" is the key, you must agree, It’s like dividing everything equally! Think of a whole pie, cut into one hundred slices bright, A percent tells you what share in those pieces take flight. So, if you get twenty-five percent, it's clear and true, That's twenty-five out of one hundred – just for you! Let’s say a test is worth 100 points, it’s plain to see, If you score 80%, you got eighty points, glee! Does that make sense? Any questions so far? Don’t be shy, Understanding percentages will help you reach for the sky!
