According to american intellectuals, reaching 10mil coverage

>>131525775
>10(real) + 10*130%(off) = 23(estimation)
Estimation 23mil is 130% off real value 10mil

>100% instead of 130%
Retarded, but public loves round numbers

>>131525775
100% of 10.3 is 10.3
10.3+10.3 is 20.6
23>20.6
Therefore, they were off by more than 100%

There, I spelled it out for you arithmetically-challenged canuckistanis.

123ish percent, but it's an awkward way to phrase it. They just wanted to put up a big number for pr.

Waiting for the "Mostly False" from politifact.

It literally says in the picture

>more than 100%

>>131525775
The way they word this proves they're retarded.
It is 45% of what it should be.

Off by more than 100% would make it a negative number.

Original number was 23M. Being 100% would yield 0, 50% 12.5M. This is the convention.

be an autodidact, teach this to your children. don't be a stateleach

but OP only read the twitter comment and didn't bother looking at the image, the Russian is correct, people just love round numbers.

Anyway what a pointless thread

>Why is american education so fucking terrible? even the white house can't do 3rd grade mathematics
Faggot, 23 is 223% of 10.3, making it 123% too high of an estimate. They were doing you libfags a FAVOR by rounding it down to 100%.

Fucking kill yourself!

>Off by more than 100% would make it a negative number.
Again, you fucking retard, 23 is the ESTIMATE, and it is a bit over 100% above the REALITY of 10.3.

Fucking libtards, for Christ's sake! "It's bad math!" No fucktard, you just don't understand math.

>>131526906
>Original number was 23M
No 23 is the estimate. Bad news, libtard, but REALITY is never wrong. Estimates, however, often are.

>>131525775
9 is 75% of 12, a 25% reduction.
12 is 133% of 9, a 33% increase.
Since 33% sounds larger than 25%, organizations change which way they measure things to fudge the numbers in their favor and look good.

This is the way it has always been.

Morons. Since we're talking about a reduction it is the following:

(1-x/y)*100 with x<y
