  2. Percent sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign

    The percent sign % (sometimes per cent sign in British English) is the symbol used to indicate a percentage, a number or ratio as a fraction of 100. Related signs include the permille (per thousand) sign ‰ and the permyriad (per ten thousand) sign ‱ (also known as a basis point ), which indicate that a number is divided by one thousand or ...

    50 / 100 × 40 / 100 = 0.50 × 0.40 = 0.20 = 20 / 100 = 20%. It is not correct to divide by 100 and use the percent sign at the same time; it would literally imply division by 10,000. For example, 25% = 25 / 100 = 0.25, not 25% / 100, which actually is 25 ⁄ 100 / 100 = 0.0025.

    U+0025 % PERCENT SIGN. U+2030 ‰ PER MILLE SIGN (per thousand) A basis point (often abbreviated as bp, often pronounced as "bip" or "beep" [1]) is one hundredth of 1 percentage point. Changes of interest rates are often stated in basis points. For example, if an existing interest rate of 10 percent is increased by 1 basis point, the new ...

  6. Less-than sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-than_sign

    Less-than sign with equals sign. The less-than sign with the equals sign, <=, may be used for an approximation of the less-than-or-equal-to sign, ≤. ASCII does not have a less-than-or-equal-to sign, but Unicode defines it at code point U+2264.

  7. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_(mathematics)

    For any real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then ac = bc (here, F ( x) is xc ); For any real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b and c is not zero, then a / c = b / c (here, F ( x) is x / c ). Reflexive property: For any quantity a, a = a. Symmetric property: For any quantities a and b, if a = b, then b = a.

  8. Percentage point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage_point

    For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same). In written text, the unit (the percentage point) is usually either written out, [2] or abbreviated as pp , p.p. , or %pt. to avoid confusion with ...

  9. Sign (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_(mathematics)

    This attribute of a number, being exclusively either zero (0), positive (+), or negative (−), is called its sign, and is often encoded to the real numbers 0, 1, and −1, respectively (similar to the way the sign function is defined). [1] Since rational and real numbers are also ordered rings (in fact ordered fields ), the sign attribute also ...

    3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1. Means "less than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≤ B is equivalent to A < B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a subgroup of the second one. ≥ 1. Means "greater than or equal to".

  11. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    As a formula, a duty cycle (%) may be expressed as: [2] Equally, a duty cycle (ratio) may be expressed as: where is the duty cycle, is the pulse width (pulse active time), and is the total period of the signal. Thus, a 60% duty cycle means the signal is on 60% of the time but off 40% of the time.
