avigutman - my thoughts on my mistake

I think C.F may not be applicable in the original

For C.F - i think the phrase should be "If y is increased by greater than more than 110 percent of x, is y greater than 75 ? "

The yellow has a % change (Specifically the underlined phrase - Greater than 110 percent )

Thus thought it would better to change to Change factor. instead of % change(greater than 110 percent )

Change factor for "greater than 110 percent" is (x 2.1) per my understanding

Quote:
If y is greater than 110 percent of x, is y greater than 75 ?

jabhatta2 can you spot the difference between the following two phrases?
(1) y is greater than 110 percent of x
(2) y is 110 percent greater than x

If you do notice a difference, how would your interpretation of the two phrases differ?

Hi avigutman - on first read - they both feel the same

Just using SC skills - i am looking for the words after the word "Than". I know in the world of SC comparisons, that would be important. So,

1st case) after than ==> 110 % of x or 1.1 of x
2nd case) after than ==> x

I wonder whether this would be any easier for you with 50% instead of 110%, jabhatta2?
