Questions
Why does a 20% fall not cancel a 20% rise?
Because each is measured against a different base. 100 up 20% is 120; 120 down 20% is 96. To reverse a 20% rise you need a 16.67% fall — this is the single most common percentage mistake in business reporting.
What is the difference between percentage change and percentage points?
If a rate moves from 4% to 6%, that is a rise of 2 percentage points — but a 50% increase. Financial and medical reporting mixes these constantly, usually in whichever direction sounds more dramatic.
Is the arithmetic exact?
It uses double-precision floating point — about 15 significant figures, far more than the inputs justify. Displayed rounding is cosmetic; the underlying numbers are not rounded between steps, so chained results do not drift.
