100 percent means complete, entire, whole.. It's mostly used in casual online conversation. It's casual and generally safe with friends and online. It's standard online vocabulary; nothing inherently concerning about hearing it.
'100 percent' (often written '100%') in spoken English is an emphatic agreement equivalent to 'absolutely' or 'definitely', not a literal mathematical claim. Register is casual and conversational; in business writing prefer 'fully agree' or 'completely'. The phrase can also intensify a description ('that's 100% him' = 'that is totally typical of him'). A common learner mistake is to over-use it as a formal modifier in essays; it sounds slangy. Pronounce 'percent' as two syllables, stress on the second. The clipped form 'a hundred' is also heard with the same meaning.
