procentuels
Procentuels is a term that refers to something expressed as a percentage. A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. The word "percent" itself comes from the Latin phrase "per centum," meaning "by the hundred." For example, 50 percent is equivalent to 50/100 or 0.5. Procentuels can be used in various contexts, such as finance, statistics, and everyday life. In finance, interest rates are often expressed procentuels, like a 5% annual interest rate. In statistics, proportions of a population or sample are frequently presented procentuels, such as 75% of respondents agreeing with a statement. In everyday situations, discounts are commonly advertised procentuels, like "20% off" on an item. Understanding percentages is crucial for interpreting data and making informed decisions in many areas. The symbol "%" is universally used to denote a percentage. To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100 and add the percent sign. Conversely, to convert a percentage to a decimal, you remove the percent sign and divide by 100.
