Math is fun
I actually learned this stuff from our nutrition facts at the back of our products in Sweden, which are different from the US. In the US, they keep telling you how much to eat, and who is telling you? Well the ones making the candy or bad food.
But in Sweden, everything sold is always specified at "100%", so you know how much sugar or fat is in the product by just looking at the back of the box.
For example, "nutrition per 100 grams", "sugar 55 grams" (ouch, too much sugar in my example!). Well, we use the metrics system, but, it doesn't matter, since it could be any unit as long as it is per 100, or as we say percent (cent mean hundred).
You might see the % symbol too, but it is a percentage of what something unknown is telling you you are allowed to eat, but not what that is.
*I am allowed to be 3% nice. (But what is 100% nice?)
