What is 0.25%?

0.25% is like having one slice out of 400 slices of a super big pizza, really tiny!

What does “percent” mean?

The word percent means per hundred, which is like saying "out of 100." So, 1% is 1 out of 100, and 25% is 25 out of 100, or like having a quarter of a pizza if the pizza was cut into four slices.

What about 0.25%?

Well, 0.25 is like saying “a little bit less than 1.” So 0.25% means 0.25 out of 100, or even smaller, like having just a tiny sliver of that big pizza if it was cut into 400 pieces.

Imagine you have 400 marbles, and you get just one marble, that’s 0.25% of all the marbles! It's super small, but still real and countable.0.25% is like having one slice out of 400 slices of a super big pizza, really tiny!
