Should I swap the position of a semicolon and the position of a comma? Should I use a colon instead of a semicolon?

Out of the major expenses incurred by the company, raw material accounted for 46 percent of the total income, employee cost; nine percent, power and fuel; two percent, advertisement; one percent, interest; four percent, depreciation; four percent, tax; two percent, dividend; two percent and other expenses 20 percent.

What is the best way to learn to express yourself?

I did not read the sentence carefully enough-here are some examples.

Comma is used to separate elements at random times in the same statement.

The semicolon is used instead of full stops, when total separation is not desired.

If you have a simple question for a newbie, where should I put a semicolons and commas?


(Out of the major

expenses incurred by the company) raw materials accounted for

46 percent of the total income, employee cost; nine percent,

power and fuel; two

percent, advertisement; one percent, interest;

four percent, depreciation;

four percent, tax;

two percent, dividend;

two percent and

other expenses 20

percent.)

Should we use another usage? You ended statements with a comma instead of a semicolon, and you joined elements inside the statement with a semicolon instead of a comma (by both systems in your example).

Please note that the first comma in a first line during a “Publik” text

on the first line represents the appropriate place.
