#25 10% have taken to wintering in England vs 10% has taken to wintering in England

4 years ago
Hello!
Could you help me with question 39?
I've caught myself on the thing that I don't know for sure whether I have to use 'have' or 'has' after 10%.
Could you explain me the rule here?
Thank you very much!
