If he can understand this...
E=0% first tick=25% second 50% and F=100%
How do they get to Instagram without typing it? How do they download the app without reading “Instagram?”
Somewhat related, I worked with a guy in his 40s who had zero understanding of percentages. He didn’t know 1% from %100 or his ass from a hot rock. His phone would randomly shut off, and I saw his battery was dead. I plugged it in and it said 1%. I told him so and he asked me what that meant. After I got over the immense ignorance, I did my best to explain the concept of percentages but it’s like explaining detailed aeronautics to a caveman, so you may have a point.
1/100th of a dollar
a quarter is 25 percent of a dollar.
1/4 of a dollar is a quarter.
1/4 of ANYTHING is a quarter, too.
Take any fraction 1/4, 3/10, 31/16 and multiply the lower number by what ever it takes to get a result of 100 and you've created a percentage when you also multiply the top number by it
1/4 times 25/25 = 25/100 or 25%.
3/10 times 10/10 = 30/100 or 30%
31/16 times 6.25/6.25 = 1.9375/100 or 193.75%
Percentage is merely a specialized fraction where the lower number is 100.
