I was Sunday years old when I learned…

I realise that’s probably not scalding hot goss

Also I really hate the phrase “I was today years old when…”

I only found out yesterday that percentages are reversible. So 8% of 25 is exactly the same answer as 25% of 8, which is obviously much easier to work out.

MORNING

 

[Sheena]

Anyway, went to the gym for 7am, did a 35 minute cross training work out and chest and triceps weights session. I know it's only been a week, but feels like my gym addiction is slowly returning. AT FUCKING LAST.

MORNING

I've just done the only maths I can reasonably manage, and 100% of 1 is the same as 1% of 100 so this story checks out

MORNING

I need someone to convince my friend (who I think realises he’s wrong but doesn’t want to admit it) that if something increases by 25% and then falls by 25% it’s not the same level as it was at the start

Can he not just do the math and see for himself?

You can type that shit into Google

50 + 50%
75 - 50%

Oh my God, why is this not the first thing we learn in maths

 

[Diddy]

Of course he can but he can’t be wrong

Omg is it not?
1*1,25=1,25
1,25/1,25=1
Need @ButterTart to verify please

 

[Diddy]

1*1,25=1,25
1,25/1,25=1
Need @ButterTart to verify please

I mean
1 x 1.25 = 1.25
1.25 x 0.75 = 0.9375

 

[Diddy]

If you divide by 1.25 that’s the same as multiplying by 0.8, which is a 20% drop, not 25%

 

[Saltwater]

But 1,25 is always meant to be 25%

 

[ButterTart]

It’s quite sad that this conversation already feels totally beyond my capabilities.

 

[dmlaw]

This sort of thing is exactly why Eileen doesn’t want to talk to us anymore.

That works in my favour at my age, love

I’m astonished people even have to question that one, though… WTF?

I was today years old when I learned that hangovers don't go away when you turn 39.

We did this in Year 1 on Friday.

Suppose the original value is 𝑋X.

Then the new value, 𝑌Y, is 𝑌=𝑋+0.25𝑋Y=X+0.25X. That is, add 𝑋X and 25% of 𝑋X.

Now 𝑋+0.25𝑋=1𝑋+0.25𝑋=1.25𝑋X+0.25X=1X+0.25X=1.25X.

So 𝑌=1.25𝑋Y=1.25X.

To solve for the old value, we are looking for 𝑋X, so divide by 1.251.25: 𝑋=𝑌1.25

Here's one for @Diddy, huge if true

 

[Diddy]

But 1,25 is always meant to be 25%

Imagine it like 1.25 = 5/4.
But dividing by 1.25 is the same as multiplying by 4/5 (I know you watched Only Yesterday where this was explained)
But 4/5 = 80% so dividing by 1.25 is a 20% reduction.

Sorry if I didn’t word that well, I typed half of it before my friend visited and half now
