PERCENTAGE GENERAL RULE

When there is a % symbol, do we always just consider the number referred to it instead of 60% using 60/100?

That's how I recommend proceeding when you see a % sign.

the point is that the word "percent" (or the "%" symbol) takes the place of "•0.01" or "/100".

so, if 6 is r% of 10, then r is 60, not 0.6.

is this what you're asking?
