Definition
百分之七 means 'seven percent' (7%). It is a percentage expression formed by 百分之 (bǎi fēn zhī, 'percent') plus a number. The source row lists pinyin as 'bǎi' and POS as 'm' (measure word), which is inconsistent — the full pinyin should be 'bǎi fēn zhī qī' and it functions as a numeral phrase, not a measure word. Use it with nouns to indicate a proportion: 百分之七的人 ('7% of people').
