You want to look at get_weight(), get_percentage() just returns the
weight scaled and rounded to give an integer score out of 100.  It's
really rather an archaic feature - showing percentage scores or star
ratings was popular for a while, but hasn't been for perhaps a decade.

What do you mean by a "logical model" vs a "mathematical model"?

Sorry, I don't follow what you're suggesting here.
