Flashcards - Money & Economy.

Question

I am studying the above mentioned flashcards. On your list at the bottom you have poor = probre and further down poor = pobre. Also I typed in repay for el pago subsecuente and percent for el porcentaje and the answer came up as incorrect.?

Put the link to the flashcard set and we can have a look at it :) - ian-hill, Jan 12, 2014

Answer 1

I don't know about the flashcard, but "porcentaje" is used when talking about a not specified fraction of something (el porcentaje de accidentes de tránsito subió el verano pasado), and "por ciento" is used with specific quantities ( el 30 por ciento de la población es atea).

I think in English is the same with "percent" (3.2% = three point two percent") and "percentage" (a larger percentage is needed), so "percent" ? "el porcentaje"
