In the context of your program, I can tell you from experience that you need to carefully validate your input here, and also provide clear instruction - as per YLearn's answer | |

| Dec 18, 2017 at 18:03 | comment | added | Lambie | percent comes from the Italian: per cento. x number for every one hundred, right. In your context, I would say: as a percentage. Percentage is by definition "of one hundred". So percentage of one hundred is redundant. | |
