  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.

    • semi@lemmy.ml ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%

        Not sure, took me some time to remember we were talking about % increase.

        Not everybody is natively good at math ^^

      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.

    • intensely_human@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      50% would have to be 18

      source

      • Apollo42@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.

  OP said it’s 20% to 56% depending on currency.

  • ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Then he should put that in the title.

      Thats fair, but equally you should read the post.

      Like you have never had to dilute a clickbaity title before…

        What we should do is blame OP for deliberately choosing a title that makes it look worse than it is.

      • papertowels@lemmy.one ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Just to be clear, by “read the post” do you mean go through all the comments of the mega thread OP shared? That seems unreasonable as opposed to “OP could’ve been clearer”.

        Is there a more summarized version then “all the reddit comments on a mega thread” anywhere?
