Percentage calculator questions

What does percent mean?

Percent means per hundred. For example, 25% is 25 out of 100, which is the decimal 0.25.

Is percentage change symmetric?

No. A rise from 80 to 100 is 25%, while a fall from 100 to 80 is 20%, because the starting values differ.

How do I turn a percentage into a decimal?

Divide it by 100. For example, 7.5% becomes 0.075.
