Most people don't understand percentages.

Maybe: Most American people don't understand percentages?

  • Most people, no matter the place.

    A lot if people are surprised when they discover that 100 + 50% - 59% is not 100.

    I do not like percentages myself, I would prefer we say 0.8 of something because the option becomes a simple multiplication and it is easier not to make mistakes
