Question
ā Common mistake: "A increased from 100 to 150, B increased from 200 to 260. Which had the bigger increase?" Most people pick B because 60 > 50.
Answer
ā **A had bigger % increase** A: (150-100)/100 = **50%** B: (260-200)/200 = **30%** š” Always compare **percentage** change, not absolute change, unless the question specifically asks for absolute.
