The National Credit Union Administration tells consumers to use words for dollars and fractions out of 100 for cents. For example, if your check is for $19.99, you would write it out as ...
For example, to find 50 apples as a percentage of 1,250 apples, one first computes the ratio 50 / 1250 = 0.04, and then multiplies by 100 to obtain 4%. The percent value can also be found by multiplying first instead of later, so in this example, the 50 would be multiplied by 100 to give 5,000, and this result would be divided by 1,250 ...
English style guides prescribe writing the percent sign following the number without any space between (e.g. 50%). [sources 1] However, the International System of Units and ISO 31-0 standard prescribe a space between the number and percent sign, [8] [9] [10] in line with the general practice of using a non-breaking space between a numerical value and its corresponding unit of measurement.
The actual difference is not usually a good way to compare the numbers, in particular because it depends on the unit of measurement. For instance, 1 m is the same as 100 cm, but the absolute difference between 2 and 1 m is 1 while the absolute difference between 200 and 100 cm is 100, giving the impression of a larger difference.

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).

Cent amounts from 1 to 99 can be represented as one or two digits followed by the appropriate abbreviation (2¢, 5c, 75¢, 99c), or as a subdivision of the base unit ($0.75, €0.99). In some countries, longer abbreviations like "ct." are used. Languages that use other alphabets have their own abbreviations and conventions.
