LOL!!!
First, the original poster is completely correct mathematically. Man,
we've already been over this with people like Ray O'hara. 9 is 200%
of 3 more than 3.
"is" means "equals"
"of" means "times"
"more than" means "plus"
Therefore:
9 is 200% of 3 more than 3
really means
9 =3D (200% x 3) + 3
200% x 3 =3D 6, so, by substitution: 9 =3D 6 + 3
However, you're also right when you say this: "The number "9" is
three times as big as the number "3", which makes it 300%." That's
true. 9 =3D 300% x 3. Factual statement.
Unfortunately, you completely misunderstand the original poster's
point and claim he's a moron when, in fact, he's got it perfectly
right.
<sigh>
BZA, can you just take care of this? Thanks.
John
