Steve,
Keyword “density” is how often you use your keywords in your text.
Take this paragraph for instance:
“Search engines like keywords in your text. Keywords are words that people would type into Google. Google has it’s own keyword generator that you could use to help find your own keywords, if you want. You should choose relevant keywords, though!”
There are 41 words in the paragraph above. The word “keyword” appears 5 times.
That gives you a “keyword density” of 12.19%.
Search engines USED to like a 35% keyword density, but now-a-days, it’s good to stay around 5%.
I hope this helps!

P.S. The formula to find out your keyword density is:
[number of times your keyword appears]
divided by
[number of words]
times
100
