Answer 1

Use it in what sense? Everyone who buys a 2-liter bottle of soda is using the metric system, in a way.

Answer 2

I couldn't find a percentage but this is what I did find:

The metric system is used widely for scientific purposes but there are some exceptions, especially at large and small scales, such as the parsec. It has been adopted for everyday life by most nations through a process called metrication. As of 2006, 95% of the world's population live in metricated countries, although non-metric units are still used for some purposes in some countries. The holdouts to full metrication are the United States and, to a lesser degree, the United Kingdom, where there is public attachment to the traditional units.

Answer 3

100% of Americans use the Metric system at least some of the time most days of their lives; think about it, how many pennies are there in a dollar?

Answer 4
