A percentage point or percent point is the unit for the arithmetic difference between two percentages.For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same).

The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, >, has been found in documents dated as far back as 1631. [1]
Reserved characters are those characters that sometimes have special meaning. For example, forward slash characters are used to separate different parts of a URL (or more generally, a URI). Unreserved characters have no such meanings. Using percent-encoding, reserved characters are represented using special character sequences.
Thus, a 60% duty cycle means the signal is on 60% of the time but off 40% of the time. The "on time" for a 60% duty cycle could be a fraction of a second, a day, or even a week, depending on the length of the period.
The 50‰ grade is equivalent to 50 m/km or 5%. Main article: Grade (slope) Gradients (in some countries in Europe ) may be expressed as mm/m or m/km, and written with the per mille symbol.
A tram and gradient sign in Gdańsk, Poland. The 50‰ grade is equivalent to 50 m/km or 5%. There are several ways to express slope: as an angle of inclination to the horizontal. (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.)
The product of the x and y values of each point on the curve equals the constant of proportionality (k). Since neither x nor y can equal zero (because k is non-zero), the graph never crosses either axis. Direct and inverse proportion contrast as follows: in direct proportion the variables increase or decrease together.
The second quartile (Q 2) is the median of a data set; thus 50% of the data lies below this point. The third quartile (Q 3) is the 75th percentile where lowest 75% data is below this point. It is known as the upper quartile, as 75% of the data lies below this point. [1]
