Background: a policy document has been reissued for premium repricing. Throughout the doc there are number appended by the above figures (or expressed as 'o/oo'). Internet research indicates that this can be expressed with or without a percentage sign thereafter. So here's the million dollar Q: what's the right way? Target audience is Canadian BTW. Cheers, R.

per thousand
0/0 is percent, 0/00 is per thousand, especially in calculating insurance premiums - it makes the rates more understandable.

Especially when the premium rate is less than one percent, which can often be the case in special subcategories that make up a commercial insurance policy.
Conversion to percentage may sometimes be appropriate, but parts per thousand or million is usually a chemical or pharmaceutical measure.
