Percentages were first used in ancient Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics, about 3,000 years ago. The symbol for percent (%) is derived from the Latin word per centum, meaning 'for every hundred'. The number 100 is the only three-digit number that is a perfect square and a perfect cube, which means it's the only number that is equal to its own square root and its own cube root.
