--explanation--

Eighty-three percent is the correct way to read 83%.

You always use percent (not percentages) after an exact number. What's the difference?

Use percent after a number:

• 83% is eighty-three percent.

• 20% is twenty percent.

Use percentage or percentages in general, not after a number:

• Eighty-three percentages is incorrect.

• We saw an increase in percentages across departments. is correct (used without a specific number).

This is important for giving clear updates, especially when discussing statistics or reports.
