Responsive Web Design and Media Queries %s?

Hi,

I'm working on Responsive web design and I'm confused as to how the percentages are being configured regarding the project. How does Allison figure out these %'s? 

 /* iPhone */
 @media screen and (max-width: 480px){
 .grid_1,
 .grid_2,
 .grid_3,
 .grid_4,
 .grid_5,
 .grid_6,
 .grid_7,
 .grid_8,
 .grid_9,
 .grid_10,
 .grid_11,
 .grid_12 {
  width: 100%;
  }

  #nav ul {
 margin: 5% 0;
  }

  #nav ul li a {
 -webkit-user-select:none;
  }

  #nav ul li {
 float:left;
 margin: 5% 0;
  }

  #nav ul li.about{
 width: 20%;
  }

  #nav ul li.pricing{
 width: 50%;
  }

  #nav ul li.locations{
 width: 30%;
  }

  #nav ul li.contact{
 width: 100%;
 margin: 0;
 font-size: 1em;
  }

  #intro-img, #about{
 display:none;
  }

  #featured-cupcake, #new-cupcakes{
 margin: 5% 0;
  }

  #new-cupcakes img{
 max-width:95%;
  }
