100% of the scandium found is found on Earth.

But that's not the answer you wanted. What you wanted was the answer to the questions "what percentage of the earth is scandium?"

The Clarke Number is variously given as in the 20 to 24 range. This means that out of each million parts of the Earth's crust (we must use only the crust as we can't really measure what the centre of the Earth is made of) 20 parts to 24 parts are scandium.
