[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

True.

The word "percent" comes from the Latin words "per centum," which means "per hundred." Therefore, percent represents a proportion or fraction out of 100. For example, 50 percent is equivalent to 50 out of 100, which can be written as a fraction as 50/100 or as a decimal as 0.5. So, when we use percentages, we are expressing a part of a whole based on a scale of 100.
