There are other currencies in the world.
Euro is going from 8 to 12.5, which is higher than 50%
That's 36% but I'm sure it's higher in some other currencies. 50% would have to be 16.
edit: This is the worst comment I have ever left on this website. I'm leaving it up so people can see what happens when you do math early in the morning. Embrace it, learn from it, live with it.
12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%
you're trolling bro wtf
I shouldn't do math right when I wake up.
Not sure, took me some time to remember we were talking about % increase.
Not everybody is natively good at math ^^
That's fine, but then they shouldn't go around correcting people.
No, it's a 56% increase. The increase is based on the before number, not after. 8->16 would be a 100% price increase
You divide by the old price, not the new one:
12.5 / 8 = 156%
8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.
50% would have to be 18
50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.
But we're starting at 12
Read the comment you originally replied to and then come back and tell me why we're not starting at 12.
