How to read percentage?


How to read `１２．５％`? I've place it on Google Translate and heard じゅうに **てん**
パーセント, is it correct?

> ６５歳を超えるアメリカ人は全人口の **１２．５％** を構成している。




The ・ here is used as the "." would be used in English: to distinguish the
round and the decimal part. So it is indeed read as 点{てん}.

So you would read the whole thing as [１２]{じゅうに}[・]｛てん｝[５]｛ご｝[％]｛パーセント｝.
