Apparently both are correct, but writing as 2 separate words is more common if you're British or Canadian than if you're from the US.
I know I see "per cent" in lots of old books.
Well I'll be damned. Good to know, thanks for the info.
The fraction is probably higher. But only because Lions are absolutely abysmal boxers.
What percentage of people will deliberately choose the most ridiculous option in a survey to mess with the survey people though?
