If I used to pay $10 bucks for something, then price goes up to say...$12 bucks.

Is that a 2 percent more or a 20% more??

Depends how much beer you drink

Doug: "Like how many beers would that be, if you want like, a sixpack in metric?"
Bob: "Six, six is 12, 30 is 42 beers. 42 metric beers."
Doug: "That's good for me eh. Count me in on metric."

Let's try something different...

Before tax: $4321
After 10% tax: $4753.10
After 12% tax: $4839.52

Difference in tax paid = $86.42 which is 2% of $4321

The tax rate was increased by 20% but only equates to a 2% difference in your pocket.

I think you'll learn that when you get to grade 8

We only understand beer.

Bahaha, wicked. Percent change is the way to compare an old value to a new one, so the formula is as follows: ((New Value - Old Value)/ Old Value) x 100%... So in your case ((12 - 10)/10) x 100% = 20%. So you payed a 20% higher price than previously. In short everyone NDP will raise corporate taxes 2 percentage points (absolute change), but the relative change in interest is (12% - 10%)/10% = 20% (this is the actual percentage). Oldest trick in the book boys.

[niner]

[niner]

If it's done correct no need for a pencil....

I think you used a calculator lol

Which is totally irrelevant to the original question.

I used to pay 10 dollars, I now pay 12 dollars, that is a 20 percent increase.

NDP hacked snow and mud. This is a sticky???

S&M needs a math thread.

If you are sitting on the couch and you get up and go to the fridge and grab a beer how fast are you moving?

Edit: You are 10m from the fridge and it takes you 5 seconds to get there and you are 300million Km from the sun ext...lol
