Little room inside the door for US low-income students

Less than 15 per cent of low-income students in the US get a four-year degree, a much lower percentage than those from middle-class homes.

The average graduate with an undergraduate degree leaves college with a $30,000 debt.

Americans have approximately $1.57 trillion in college debt outstanding, and the rate of default is rising.

According to usage rules, fewer is only to be used when discussing countable things, while less is used for singular mass nouns. For example, you can have fewer ingredients, dollars, people, or puppies, but less salt, money, honesty, or love. If you can count it, go for fewer.

Correct. But does the less not refer to the percentage?
