Why do we say "ciento por ciento"? Ciento is more than one hundred so shouldn't it only be cien por ciento and cien por cien?

The question did not specify to use the tú or usted form, and in a later question, it did specify "tú."  So I typed "leyó", but was marked wrong. I had "leiste" until I saw "tú" specified later, so I changed it.  Either both should be right or it should be specified, to reduce frustration.  I can see if you were talking to a family member or close friend (in an obvious context), then it should be expected to be "tú." But this was quite ambiguous- you could have loaned a book to a friend or a colleague or boss.

Pitting your last two points against each other, should this be "Y email?" or "E email?"

I was wondering how ir + gerund compares with andar + gerund?

Namely, adding a 'dr' to the stem before the regular endings.

I will leave ... Saldré

I will put ... Pondré

Is there a rule? Only for -er and -ir verbs?

How do we use por and para
