It is sometimes necessary to spell out a <a contenteditable="false" class=”wiki href=”Numbers:%20at%20the%20beginning%20of%20a%20sentence” title=”wiki : Numbers: at the beginning of a sentence”>number when it begins a sentence. If the sentence cannot be recast and the number is expressing a percentage, then the percentage symbol is not used. Both the number and the word percent are written out.
