Although many studies have been done on this, currently noone has settled on an official percentage of people born with Synesthesia. However, this doesn't mean that numbers don't exist, just that many of them don't agree with eachother, and therefore there can't be a sure answer.

Females have a slightly higher prevalence of synesthesia compared to males. Research suggests that the condition may be more common in women, although the reasons for this difference are not entirely clear.
This could be possible through something called synesthesia. In synesthesia, one type of sensory input can trigger another type of sensation. There are many different types of synesthesia. Some are more common, such as the association of colors with numbers or letters, but most any combination could be possible.
Synesthesia in Tagalog is "sinesestesiya." It is a sensory phenomenon where stimulation of one sense triggers an involuntary experience in another sense.
It can be beneficial, for example in one of the most common types of synesthesia where the synesthete sees letters (and words) and numbers as having colours it can help to memorize spellings and numbers or dates, or it can be used to help remember telephone numbers and names. I have synesthesia and I often use it to help me remember the spellings of peoples names and words in foreign languages.

Synesthesia can be a symptom of hallucinogens or sleep deprivation, but otherwise would be very unlikely spontaniously.
