Understand PERCENT in simple terminology... Percent = Per Cent = for every 100. 10% = 10 for every 100. 10% of 1000 = 10x10 = 100.

Percent means “for every 100” or "out of 100." To calculate a percentage, we look at the whole as equal to 100%. For example, say you have 10 apples (=100%). If you eat 2 apples, then you have eaten 2/10 × 100% = 20% of your apples and you are left with 80% of your original apples.
