We will have the following:

We have that a percentage is a proportion in relation with a whole. It is often expressed as a fraction of 100, where 100% represents the whole and any value above or below represents the relation with respect to the whole.

An example is:

2 represents the 100%, and thus the 50% represents just 1.
