minus-squareAmericaDelendaEst [comrade/them]hexbear6·1 month ago662% is 6.62 but an increase of 662% is 7.62 to show a 62% increase you multiple a number by 1.62, to show a 162% increase it's 2.62, etc (262 is 162% more than 100) i'm not a math guy don't @ me link

They can't keep their numbers straight.
Is 662% not 7.62x?
Yeah, seems correct but just oddly phrased.
"662% higher than" is equal to 762% (7.62 times).
"7.62 times higher" equals 862%.
662% is 6.62 but an increase of 662% is 7.62
to show a 62% increase you multiple a number by 1.62, to show a 162% increase it's 2.62, etc (262 is 162% more than 100)
i'm not a math guy don't @ me
You got it exactly!
With the way they phrased it its wrong.
662% higher than is 7.62x
About 662% (of) is 6.62x
