  125% times

  …is the most cursed thing I’ve seen all day. Especially so when you realize that when you convert it to a decimal of 1.25, the sentence is completely correct. Bravo. 😅👏

    In my native language % means “per cent”, meaning per hundred.

    So it reads as 125 per 100 times 40000.

      I’ve never seen anyone write it like that in English. It is understandable when you explain it, but it would normally be written simply as 1.25
