Every good mathematician knows that when a number is INCREASED by a factor, say, 70%, DECREASING the new value by the same factor DOES NOT RESTORE IT TO ITS ORIGINAL VALUE.

Example:

Take N100.

Increase by 70% (N70) = N170.

Now, decrease N170 by 70% (N119).

N170 - N119...

What do you get?

Answer = N51.

Now, does your original N100 = N51?

No.

But you INCREASED and DECREASED by the same percentage?

Do the math yourself, if in doubt.

I'm not defending anybody, but even if a merchant does this "trick", he still ends up giving you nearly HALF the original price of an item.

Just pointing out the flaw in a common logic I've heard often.

Instead of you to bow your ignorant head in shame for the stupid, mathematically WRONG post you put up before (which I helped to correct), your bruised pride chose to move you into personal insult territory.

I am not moved by your nonsense, little boy. I have educated you. Admit it. Deal with it.

Now, tear down that rubbish comment you posted earlier (I know you wouldn't dare) and I will delete my correction. Or maybe not grin

For your information, there are people who have learned from my comment above, who would have otherwise been misled by yours.

It's simple arithmetics, little boy. Social media children of nowadays don't care about some education.

rookidmart:

That's exactly what the person you quoted is talking about.
The week before the Black Friday they increase the prices of their goods, and when they reduce it on Black Friday, like you roughly pointed out, the price is even more than the original price.
eg. Take a sachet of water that is 10 Naira.
The week before the Black Friday they'll increase the price of water by, say, 70% to 77 Naira.
And on Black Friday, they'll reduce it by 80% which gives 15 Naira, which is still higher than the original cost price of 10 Naira.
So it's safe to say Nigerian 'Black Friday' is a scam.



FATAL ERROR (to use a computing term).

Perhaps you failed maths at school.

ONE: Check your calculations again and tell me how a 70% increase on N10 becomes N77 (seventy-seven). That's exactly the number you typed (in case you edit it later to make me a liar).

TWO: My comment was clearly about increasing and decreasing a given amount by a FIXED FACTOR. The same percentage. In your example, you increased by 70% and then reduced by 80%. You killed your logic by doing this.

THIRD: Let's even use your own example of +70% and -80%. You used N10. So let's try this:

N10 increased by 70% = N17 (seventeen).

Now decrease N17 by 80%.

First, how much is 80% of N17?

80/100 X N17 = 0.8 X N17 = N13.6

Now, let us SUBTRACT N13.6 from N17 (i.e. 80% reduction).

N17 - N13.6 = N3.4

Therefore, the new price = N3:40k. (Even LOWER than you expected, isn't it?)

So, kindly tell Nairaland how you arrived at N15.

Simple arithmetics.

I am disappointed.

FINALLY, to the part of my original comment you highlighted, when you increase and then decrease a given number by the SAME, FIXED factor (e.g. 70%), the amount you get will ALWAYS BE LOWER than the amount you started with.

Let this me your assignment:

Increase and then decrease the following random numbers by the percentages given.

- 520 by 10%
- 662 by 99%
- 1.2 million by 11.8%

I bet you, in each case, you will end up with a figure LOWER than the starting number.

Just make sure you don't make mistakes.

Typo.
I meant to write 17.
You can see that the other part is correct .

Oga, it was a typo.
I meant to write 17, but wrote 77 instead and then I used the 77 for the subsequent calculation.

Mr teacher àgbàlagbà...Solving simple mathematics with further maths always make the teacher look silly sometimes sir. So next time please look at the questions very well before using another method for solving it. This is Black Friday maths and not real mathematics class. No apology sir

Clap for yourself, little boy. Where is the further maths in everything I wrote above?

I see you have ZERO affinity for knowledge, and NEGATIVE elasticity for correction, yet your ego reaches up even to the cirrus clouds.

Not surprising. It's the dearth in our education system in this country. Try graduating university and then you will see that life in the real world is far more "concrete and substance" than the abstractions of social media banter.

Better go read your books.
