Ok let us begin with the defining equation for all percents
$$\Huge \frac{x}{100}=\frac{a}{b}$$
Have you ever seen this equation before?
nope
take a good look at it, in fact, memorize it along with some other things...
note $$\Huge \frac{x}{100} = x\cdot\frac{1}{100} = x\text{%}$$
So the percent sign "%" is just another way of writing 1/100 or "hundredths" or "divided by 100"; does that make sense?
Its B
