The <percentage> CSS data type represents a percentage value. It is often used to define a size as relative to an element's parent object. Numerous properties can use percentages, such as width, height, margin, padding, and font-size.
Note: Only calculated values can be inherited. Thus, even if a percentage value is used on the parent property, a real value (such as a width in pixels for a <length> value) will be accessible on the inherited property, not the percentage value.
The <percentage> data type consists of a <number> followed by the percentage sign (%). Optionally, it may be preceded by a single + or - sign, although negative values are not valid for all properties. As with all CSS dimensions, there is no space between the symbol and the number.
When animated, values of the <percentage> data type are interpolated as real, floating-point numbers. The speed of the interpolation is determined by the easing function associated with the animation.
