It's so fun to see morons proclaim their intellect, and use math examples that actually show they have no effing clue what they are talking about.
Witness the ding-a-ling who thinks a price jumping from $55.13 to $107.79 is only a 64% increase.
Hmmmm. In the world of actual mathematics (not moronic MAGA math) $55.13 x 1.6464 =
$90.766.
In the world of actual mathematics (not moronic MAGA math), you divide the result by the original figure to determine the percentage increase.
$107.79 / $55.13 = 1.955 no matter how a MAGAT tries to spin it differently.
This means over a
95% increase to the original sum of $55.13 . The original almost DOUBLED.
A DOUBLING would be a 100% increase.
More very simple examples before some dummy somewhere says the above is wrong:
$100 increasing to $175 is a 75% increase. $175 / $100 = 1.75
$100 increasing to $199 is a 99% increase. $199 / $100 = 1.99
$100 increasing to $129 is a 29% increase. $129 / $100 = 1.29
And so on.
No wonder the morons cheered when Diapered Demented Donnie said prescription prices would be reduced by 1,500%, and the idiot RFK Jr tried to cover by saying it's "Trump math".
He loves the poorly educated for a reason.
FFS, even the charts I have been posting all along could have been a good clue to how math works.
They actually show the percentage increase ON THE CHARTS.
Damn, it's like shooting fish in a barrel here.
