[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8923374, member: 683408"] 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 =[B] $90.766.[/B] 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 [B]95%[/B] 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".
