I'm trying to understand the concept of mass per cent. Could you explain what it is and how it's used in chemistry or other scientific fields?

For instance, if a mixture contains 20 grams of a certain component and the total mass of the mixture is 100 grams, the mass percentage of the component would be 20%.
