Say you’re storing a percentage like “state tax”. You store it as a decimal: 0.4 means 40%. What do you call this type when you need to name a db column or a variable? Technically it is not a percent until you * 100.<p>“Decimal fraction” seems most correct but is very verbose. No one is writing taxRateDecimalFraction as a var name.
how about `taxrate`?<p>Or don't store it as a decimal between 0 and 1 - but as a value between 0 and 100 (with possible decimal points, of course), and just call it `taxpct`?
