  That’s 36% but I’m sure it’s higher in some other currencies.

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

    No, it’s a 56% increase. The increase is based on the before number, not after. 8->16 would be a 100% price increase

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

        That’s fine, but then they shouldn’t go around correcting people.

    You divide by the old price, not the new one:

    12.5 / 8 = 156%

    50% would have to be 18

    • Apollo42@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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