    Plural of percentage.

    Note

    A plural that appears only when separate figures are counted or set side by side, such as the percentages won by each candidate or the percentages of growth in each region. A single share of a whole stays singular even when it is large: a high percentage of the class, not percentages. In trade the plural also names cuts of sales or profits, as when agents earn percentages on what they sell.
