Why do some dialogue options have percentages next to them?

Question

I noticed that some of my dialogue options have percentages next to them. Here's an example:

enter image description here

Not only does it have a percentage, but also an icon and it's highlighted green. What's special about it? What will happen if I choose this option?

Answer

It is the chance that you will succeed at that dialog option (such as getting some extra money or items from the NPC).

Points in the Persuasion skill raise this chance.

I haven't run into any negative side effects with attempting and failing these sorts of checks, other than the fact that you don't get whatever bonus they would have given you, and you can't try again.
