For while you ride math in your head:

25% = 14 degrees. (Very near exact!)
10% < 6 degrees (5.71)

0.56 % per degree Edit: I got these mis-labeled!
1.78 degrees per %

The plot between percent and degrees is nearly a straight line between 0 and 30 degrees.

Edit: this is trig. Past 30 degrees and the conversion becomes less and less linear. (Down to 0.45 degrees per % at 45 degrees and 0.35 degrees per % at 60 degrees. Good thing is that we don't spend a lot of time riding at those angles.
