Let's set the inline-axis starting padding of the child element to 20px:

<div>
	<p>text</p>
</div>

div {
	width: 400px;
	height: 200px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
p {
	padding-inline-start: 20px;
	width: 100px;

Now let's set the start padding of the child element on the inline axis to 20%:

<div>
	<p>text</p>
</div>

div {
	width: 400px;
	height: 200px;
	border: 1px solid black;
}
p {
	padding-inline-start: 20%;
	width: 100px;
	height: 50px;
