The percentage is always calculated in relation to the containing block. So if for example the containing block is 100px and you want the width of your contained div to be 1px but want to express it in terms of percentage, then you would have to right it as 1%.

TL;DR: for a containing block of 100px width: 1px = width: 1%.
