Each potato has multiple eyes so it is easy to propagate potatoes.
The potato / tuber is used for propagation.
It depends on size of potato, but usually you can get at least 4-6 eyes on one potato.
Why will you compare the percentage of eyes that sprout rather than the total number of eyes that sprout on each potato half?
7-10 eyes
in a spring,(small dots of a potato) Normally one shoot will grow from each eye.

Potato eyes on a potato are just the roots of the potato growing out. They injdicate that a potato is old, and has not been freshly harvested. Potato eyes on a human just refer to swollen eyes - usually meanig that he/she has ben crying!
When a potato is beginning to grow eyes appear on the skin, if planted it is the eyes that grow.If you can divide the potato with eyes on both pieces then yes you will get a plant from each piece.But don't divide them too small, in the early days of growth the plant 'feeds' on the food stored in the potato.

No, you have to plant the potato. I grew one for a science project once. You have to bury the potato in some soil and leave only an inch of it sticking up. Keep it watered and in a sunny spot. You can plant the eyes of a potato, but only with big chunks of potato still attached. Cut a potato into chunks that contain two or more budding eyes, and let the cut part of the potato harden for a day or so, to help prevent rot. Then plant them about one foot apart with the eyes up (so they can see!). They should be planted about four inches below the ground's surface, but just barely covered over until they begin growing.
Potato eyes and the eyes of needles. Also, the eyes on the back of the U.S. one dollar bills.
