Lyrics:
A percentage is a ratio that compares a number to 100
A percentage expresses a number as a fraction of 100
"A part of 100" is what percent means in Latin
Now let's take a look at those percentages in action!
90% on a test - that's good!
10% of the weekend left - that's bad!
40% chips in your party mix - that's good!
100% of just pretzel sticks - that's bad!
