似乎是 一成

yī chéng

ZH

One-tenth; 10 percent; a small proportion

这里的降水只有去年的一成。

The rainfall here is only one-tenth of last year's.

Etymology

This word originates from ancient Chinese measurement systems. "Chéng" originally referred to a 10% graded proportion, so "yī chéng" has meant 10 percent since the pre-Qin period.

Memory Aid

Break the word into characters: "一" means one, "成" means a tenth-grade portion, so together they mean one tenth portion. Think of "one grade out of ten equal parts" to remember the meaning.
