The Vietnamese word "phần trăm" translates to "percentage" or "per cent" in English. It is used to express a proportion or a fraction of a whole, typically represented as a number out of 100. For example, if you say "ba mươi phần trăm," it means "thirty per cent," which is a way to indicate 30 out of 100.
In more advanced contexts, "phần trăm" can be combined with other words to express more complex ideas: - "Tỷ lệ phần trăm" (percentage rate) refers to the rate at which something occurs, often used in studies or reports. - "Chênh lệch phần trăm" (percentage difference) is used in comparisons to show how much one value differs from another in percentage terms.
While "phần trăm" primarily means "percentage," it can also imply a part of something in a broader sense, depending on the context. For example, discussing a part of a population or a segment of a market.
