% This is the sign for a percent. Shift+5
How do you multiply 6.5 percent with out the percent sign?
To multiply 6.5 percent without the percent sign, you can divide the percent value by 100. Therefore, multiplying 6.5 percent is the same as multiplying 0.065.
What is the proper placement of the percent sign when providing a range?
The proper place to put a percent sign in a range is as follows: 40-60% The percent sign is not used after both ranges (40 and 60) when ranges are used. However, when a percentage range is not being described, such as 40 percent, it is acceptable to place the percent sign immediately following the digits (60 percent; 60%), or a space may be used between the digits and the sign (60 %).
Do percent signs go inside or outside parenthesis for negative numbers?
I believe the parentheses eliminate the need for the negative sign. For example: negative $100,000 would be expressed $(100,000). Using the negative sign, it would read: -$100,000.
Why was the percent sign invented?
