Using 'de' before Numbers in French

Can you please explain when 'de' is used before a number in French?

- Le nombre de décès a été de 54600. (Does it mean 'was at' or ' was about'?)

- La population a augmenté l'année dernière de 3,46,000 personnes. (Does it mean 'increased to' or 'increased by' here?)

- Le prix est de 500 dollars.

And, is there a general rule about using "de" before numbers? Please explain?

using appellerAm I correct in thinking that you can use "Comment tu t'appelles?" or "comment t'appelles tu?" I was taught both of these in school.

Don't understand why this lesson is under "Pronouns"

Hi,

I'm having difficulties understanding why this lesson is under "Pronouns"... It looks to me it would be better places under "Idioms and Idiomatic Expressions"...

You can always point out that I'm wrong off course.
