Why is the floated width value 46.5% of the it's parents element?

On minute 2:35, Guill positioned the tips and resort element at a width of 46.5%. Why did he not use 50% as its two columns?

because margin and padding on other HTML element

he should fix it with something like this and then he can use 50% 

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    border: none;
    text-decoration: none;
    list-style: none;
}
