how to read these numbers
Hi everybody, I'd like to know, especially for business, how to read numbers and percentages like these:

0.6% (zero POINT six percent?)
14.2% (fourteen POINT two percent)

I don't know whether there is a difference or not, but in this case I'd rather know the American way to read them.

Thank you!

Answer

Yes, they are both correct.

The only regional difference is in what we would call the '0'. Calling it zero follows the American convention, and this would be understood worldwide.

Answer

Looks correct although you could just say point 6 percent.-instead of zero point 6 percent they both work.
