>> What does the percentage on the chocolate packaging bag mean?

The% on the chocolate packaging bag refers to the weight percentage* of the total cocoa content in the chocolate (including cocoa butter and all other cocoa solids). The higher the percentage, the darker the chocolate.

Because the production of chocolate allows the addition of sugar, dairy products and other raw materials, not all chocolates with the same percentage will have the same bitterness or sweetness.

PS: This is a well-known explanation about the meaning of percentage on chocolate packaging bags, but there is no official standard for how this percentage is defined, so the interpretation of it may be different between different brands.
