The number of grams in 100mL of solution is indicated by the percentage.  For example, a 1% solution has one gram of solid in a final volume of 100mL solution.  To make this type of solution properly, you should weigh 1.0g of the solid material and dissolve it in slightly less than 100mL of solvent.  Once the solids have dissolved, you can bring the volume up to 100mL.  If one liter of a 1% solution is needed, then 10g of solid would be dissolved in 1000mL of solution to maintain the 1% ratio of solid weight to solution volume.
