Q: steve wrote transurgeon wrote as a starting point 3% / 2 % = 150% i still say 3% is only 1% more than 2%. ;^ your still wrong. look at the equation another way 2 *x = 3 x would equal 1.5 or 2 x 150%=3 try both of these on your calculator and you will see that transurgeon was right all along. 3% is 1% more than 2%. prove it on your own calculator. 0.02 + 0.01 = 0.03 3 is 50% more than 2 but 3% is only 1% more than 2%. see the difference a percent is an expression of per 100. saying that 3% is 50% more than 2% is just as wrong as saying that three cents is fifty cents more than two cents. .
