Percentage Values
A percentage value is expressed as a positive or negative number (when permitted), followed immediately by a percent sign (%). There should never be any space between the number and the percent sign. A percentage value will always be computed relative to something else. For example, declaring font-size: 120%; for an element sets its font size to 120% of the computed font-size of its parent element.
