In Italian, percentages are expressed using the word “percento” or the symbol “%”, similar to English. To talk about percentages, you can use the following structure:

[number] + “percento” or “%” + di

Remember that when the number begins with a vowel (such as “uno,” “otto,” “undici,” etc.), you should use the article l’.
Here are some examples:

• Il 10 percento delle persone vive in città (10 percent of people live in cities)
• Abbiamo completato il 50% del progetto (We have completed 50% of the project)
• La compagnia ha aumentato i prezzi del 5% (The company increased its prices by 5%)
• Solo il 2 percento degli studenti ha fallito l’esame (Only 2 percent of students failed the exam)
