    I just knew that picture of degrees and percentages would be too much for you, so I enlarged the appropriate parts.

    Pente-Slope_--Degres-Ratio_V3.jpg

    So the first scale is in percentages (%), and the second scale in degrees (°).

    And now the big surprise:

    Pente-Slope_--Degres-Ratio_V2.jpg

    Yes, a 100% slope is 45° !!! Who would have thought that!!! A miracle!!!

    Now we're going to do something very difficult, a little bit of science !

    This is a crop of your nice picture:

    image-2.jpg

    The diagonal big red line is the angle with the horizontal at which the vehicle is climbing.

    The height of the picture is 558 pixels, and the width is 1000 pixels.

    And now we get to the big trick, how to calculate the angle. For that we use this formula:

    angle.jpg

    So sad ......

    And before I forget, 29.16 degrees equals 55.8%. Now how did I calculate that...........

    Don't you like my beautiful Kodiak dozer tank? Look at what you can do with it:

    kodiak-sestava_203.jpg

    It's got a 1500HP V12 turbo charged diesel engine, air conditioning, maximum speed of 45mph, it's a really nice machine.
