A 150% increase from 100 would be 250. This is how you do increases with percentages: 50% increase in a 100 base: 100X 50% 100X.50 = 50 50+ 100 = 150. 100X150% 100X1.50= 150 150 + 100 = 250 If you don't understand PLEASE stop making yourself look like an idiot and google how to add percentages. Child. If you are not a child, you should most definitely understand because of interest rates. If you owe a 100 dollars but have a 5% interest rate, does that mean that you'll actually less than what you borrowed? Hell no. It's more. Because you say 100 X .05 and then add it

  • I see, you don't understand the difference between multiplication and increase. It explains why you used both terms interchangeably and have yet to realize that. So when you multiply by a percentage, you don't add the original, when you increase by a percentage, you add the original. Your OP said multiply, multiply by 1.5 and increase by 50% are the same thing. But you said multiply by 50% which is half.

  • See you aren't understanding. You HAVE TO MULTIPLY TO GET YOUR NEW NUMBER. You have to multiply .50 to 100 to get 50, for which you add to 100 getting you 150. I see you don't understand basic algebra. I'm done trying to explain to you fools

    When you increase by 50%: 100 x .5 + 100 = 150 When you multiply by 50%: 100 x .5 = 50 Ah, I see you've edited your original post. All is well now
