The "%" symbol, also known as the percentage symbol, is a way of representing numbers as fractions of 100. It is commonly used in mathematics, finance, and statistics to express proportions, rates, and changes over time. The symbol can be read as "per cent" or "out of 100." For example, 50% means 50 out of 100 or half, while a 25% increase means a quarter more than the original value.
