That’s 36% but I’m sure it’s higher in some other currencies. 50% would have to be 16.

There are other currencies in the world.

12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%
You divide by the old price, not the new one:
12.5 / 8 = 156%
No, it’s a 56% increase. The increase is based on the before number, not after. 8->16 would be a 100% price 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%.
But we’re starting at 12

Read the comment you originally replied to and then come back and tell me why we’re not starting at 12.
you’re trolling bro wtf
I shouldn’t do math right when I wake up.
Not sure, took me some time to remember we were talking about % increase.
Not everybody is natively good at math ^^
That’s fine, but then they shouldn’t go around correcting people.
8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.
