That's one of the tricky things in English that a lot of native speakers don't know themselves.
Look at the noun. "Percentage ". “Percentage” is used with both singular and plural verbs. It usually takes a plural verb when followed by “of” plus a plural noun, and takes a singular verb when followed by “of” plus a singular noun. Example: “A small percentage of the cookies were eaten.
