Can someone explain what is meant by `${variable}%` in javascript/react

Question

I'm a bit of a beginner still and keep coming across this in code:

${Math.round(newProps.percent)}% surrounded by backticks

or

${currentBillingStartDate} surrounded by backticks and not using the percent.

I'd like to understand when it should be used and why.

The percent sign is just a character that is meant to be interpolated with the expression inside the ${variable}. The result would be a string that looks like "55%"
