percent和percentage都是表示比率的常用詞匯，但它們之間存在一些區(qū)別。
percent表示比率，用來描述一個(gè)數(shù)除以另一個(gè)數(shù)的百分比。例如：
– The company has increased its sales by 10 percentage points.
(該公司的銷售額增加了10%。)
– The product is 50% cheaper than the competitor\’s offering.
(這件產(chǎn)品比競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的便宜50%。)
percentage表示比率，用來描述一個(gè)數(shù)相對(duì)于另一個(gè)數(shù)的百分比。例如：
– The percentage of students who scored above 80 in the exam was 20%.
(考試中得分高于80的學(xué)生占總學(xué)生人數(shù)的20%。)
– The company\’s profits have increased by 20 percentage points over the past year.
(公司過去一年的利潤(rùn)增加了20%。)
此外，percent還可以表示“百分比”，即一個(gè)數(shù)乘以100后除以它本身。例如：
– I have earned 70% of the total amount I budgeted for this project.
(我在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目預(yù)算中賺取了70%。)
percentage還可以表示“ percentage of ”，即一個(gè)數(shù)相對(duì)于另一個(gè)數(shù)的百分比。例如：
– The company has increased its profits by 50 percentage points over the past three years.
(公司過去三年的利潤(rùn)增加了50%。)
總結(jié)起來，percent和percentage在表示比率時(shí)有所不同，但是它們的含義是相似的。在實(shí)際應(yīng)用中，我們通常根據(jù)需要選擇合適的詞匯。
