If you have 10 permil

And you increase that 10 to 14 permil

Is this a 40% increase compared to the earlier 10?

[Anonymous No.6547672]

Yes. But what's a permil?

[Anonymous No.6547705]

>>6547672
percent is per hundred

permil is per thousand

[Anonymous No.6547710]

>>6547672
>Yes

so it's both a 40 percent increase and a 4 permil increase?

[Anonymous No.6547718]

As long as you're specific in your answering and you specify that your 40% increase is a 40% increase in permil and you have a 4 permil increase in [Hello World] then you're good.

>>6547718
So it can be both a 40 percent increase and a 4 permil increase?

That makes sense, kinda like how you can have 500% increases as well.

Guys if I have 40 decibels and increase it 50% do I get 60 decibels?

So, you're asking if 40/100=4/1000, do you need a protip here?

[Anonymous No.6547764]

>>6547763
But when you add 4 to 10, that's a 40% increase right?

[Anonymous No.6547769]

That image makes no sense by the way. What you get is |shit| if shit is real in the first place, if shit isn't real you just get -shit back.

>If Inflation is at 4%, and then it becomes 6%, is that a 2% increase or a 50% increase?

[Anonymous No.6547772]

>>6547771
6% is 50% more than 4%

but there is 2% between 4% and 6%

[Anonymous No.6547774]

>>6547751
decibels are a logarithmic scale

[Anonymous No.6547775]

>>6547772
well no shit

>answering a rhetoric question

[Anonymous No.6547776]

>>6547775
So it's both right?

Is that why people say "percentage points"?
