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 bygreater than more than 110 percent of x, is y greater than 75 ? "

jabhatta2
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
