Je voulais savoir d'où provient le signe # ?! |
2008-01-17 |
|
Dimitri pose la question : Je voulais savoir d'où provient le signe # ?!
On l'appelle diez, sur les téléphones surtout, mais j'aimerai savoir plus précisément à quoi sert ce signe (autre que sur nos appareils) !
Et pourquoi, en anglais, s'il est placé avant un chiffre, on dit 'number' (par exemple #1, 'Number one').
Son origine m'interesse tout autant que son utilité ! Claude Tardif lui répond. |

The definition of percent ( % ) |
2015-03-07 |
|
Kenneth pose la question : Hello:
I saw this definition online from the Free Dictionary (The Free Dictionary.com) regarding the definition of percent (%):
"Noun 1. a percent sign - a sign (`%') used to indicate that the number preceding it should be understood as a proportion multiplied by 100."
What is this "proportion" multiplied by 100?
When I think of a proportion, I think of a/b = c/d. How can a number preceding the percent sign be understood as a proportion X 100?
I thank you for your reply! Chris Fisher and Claude Tardif lui répond. |
