I'm quite willing to bet that 70% of the population has no clue that percentages, fractions, and decimals are the same thing.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

That's about 60% more than expected

I think you can increase that by about 7.5/10%

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

Is that 7.5 percent or 7.5 percentage points though? :/

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago
