Question

David considered moving even closer to his workplace. He claims that if he had done so, the percent of decrease would have been more that 100%. Is David correct? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

This is completely wrong for logical and mathematical reasons, but for the sake of time I will go over the mathematical reason.

Because all percentages are out of 100, nothing can physically be over 100%, though it is used frequently in hyperbolic sentences and exaggerated statements.

Hope I helped and good luck!
