Isn’t “per cent” per 1000?

What? "per cent" is literally "per 100"?

Some writing styles even favour per cent written separately, it works the same.

Oh, I thought cent was 1000. I'm thinking of M, like CPM. I guess it should have been obvious, given that a hundred years is a century. Thanks for answering my question instead of just downvoting it like people do on this website.

Yup, M is for “mille”.
