  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

      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%

  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%.
