§Grammar and usage
Usage, asked often: per means 'for each' ('100 rupees per kilo'; in everyday English 'a kilo' is also used); per cent or percent (for each hundred); per annum (each year), per capita (for each person: 'per capita income'), per day.
प्रयोग अक्सर पूछा जाता है: per का अर्थ 'हर एक के लिए' है ('100 rupees per kilo'; रोज़मर्रा की English में 'a kilo' भी प्रयुक्त होता है); per cent या percent (प्रति सौ); per annum (प्रति वर्ष), per capita (प्रति व्यक्ति: 'per capita income'), per day।
Usage note: 'as per' (according to) is common in Indian and business English ('as per your request'), but 'according to' or 'as' is better in formal British writing.
प्रयोग नोट: 'as per' (के अनुसार) भारतीय और व्यापारिक English में आम है ('as per your request'), पर औपचारिक British लेखन में 'according to' या 'as' बेहतर है।
