some examples......

(1 mm / 100 mm) x 100 = 1.00% (no units)

alternately...

( 1 Ft. / 100 Ft.) x 100 = 1.00% (no units)

It's from Latin, "per centum"

centum is 100

so it means "(1*) per 100"

It can be any units or things. E.g. Interest, gradient, occurrence, ...

"1 per 1000" would be "per milli"

(* inferred unus for editor crankshaft)
