Definition
百分之三十 is a fraction expression meaning 'thirty percent'. It is formed by 百分之 (percent marker) followed by a number. Note: the source data marks the POS as 'measure word', but this is likely an error — 百分之三十 is a phrase, not a classifier. The pinyin field only contains 'bǎi', which is incomplete; the full pronunciation is bǎi fēn zhī sān shí.
