Pace is one way to describe how fast something moves. Pace tells how much time it takes the object to travel a certain distance.
For example, Diego runs at a pace of 10 minutes per mile. Elena runs at a pace of 11 minutes per mile. Elena runs slower than Diego, because it takes her more time to travel the same distance.
The word percent means “for each 100.” The symbol for percent is %.
For example, a quarter is worth 25 cents, and a dollar is worth 100 cents. A quarter is worth 25% of a dollar.
