      Similarly, people who write “a 100%” to mean “a hundred percent.”

      What they actually wrote winds up being “a one hundred percent.” The “one” doesn’t disappear by putting “a” in front of it. If you want to write a hundred, write “a hundred.” It’s what you’re supposed to do for smaller numbers in the English language anyway.
