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

edit: This is the worst comment I have ever left on this website. I’m leaving it up so people can see what happens when you do math early in the morning. Embrace it, learn from it, live with it.

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

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%

50% would have to be 18

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

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.
