I would like to be able to say X percent of something, but I haven't been able
to find the particle that would correspond to _of_. Could you use の？

For example:

> 人口の10パーセント (10 percent of population)?

What particle to use as *of* when saying "X percent *of* something"?
Yes, I think you can say の here:

> 人口の１０％  
>  _10% of the population_

I think it would be more common to write ％ than パーセント, but either way.

As an aside, for even tenths I think you can use 割 instead:

> 人口の一割  
>  _a tenth of the population_

Each 割 is one tenth.
