    You do realize that word percent quite literally translates into “per cent” or “per 100” since cent is the latin root that’s used everywhere meaning “100” or “one-hundredth”.

    • Century (100 years)
    • US Cent (100th of a dollar)
    • Centurion (Those who commanded 100 soldiers)
    • Centipede (creature with 100 legs)

    So 50% becomes 50 per cent becomes 50 per 100

    And, since in mathematical terms, the word per means divide (miles per hour == mph == m/h) then we can distill 50% down to:

    50/100

    Which, surprisingly enough, is represented as the decimal number .5
