We use percent after a number, like "Forty-eight percent of the people like hot dogs." Percentage is the noun for the concept, as in, "What is the percentage of people who like mustard on their hot dogs?" The answer could be "Sixty-seven percent."Personally, I like mustard on a hot dog. How about you?
