Default Re: Forming Questions

In questions 2 and 3 'where' and 'how much' ask questions about the oject, e.g. The nearest station is ...?... In a question like 'How many people go to work by bus?', the question is about the subject which is why the structure of the indirect question is different. As for your question 1, personally, I would say What percentage... but that doesn't change the structure of course.
