Fundamentally,
the term percent means per-hundred. There are two
important considerations:
·
A percentage expresses a part-whole
relationship; and
·
When comparing percentages, care must be
taken to specify the whole(s) to which the percentage(s) refer.
In the
following reading, we use concept models to present the true meaning of
percent and discuss the ideas through the lenses of typical textbook
problems.
