Actually it would be a 300% increase. Understand?
The math is...... % increase = difference / original price.
Difference is $6.00, the original price is $2.00
$6/$2 = 3.00. which is 300%
Feel stupid yet?
Now, listen carefully.
The math is...... % decrease = difference / original price.
If those same $8.00 eggs are reduced by 50%, what do they now cost.......Correct....it would be $4.00
If those same $8.00 eggs are reduced by 75%, what do they now cost.......Correct....it would be $2.00
75% is not 400%.
And you were a Real Estate Broker??????? WOW.
