Here’s a mind-bender: sometimes percentages go over 100%. If you earn $100 and then $150, your increase is 50%. But if you’re measuring growth, like “sales up 200%,” that just means tripled. Your brain freaks out, but it’s simple math.
Or consider this: a 50% discount on a $20 item saves you $10. But a 50% increase on the price? That’s more money, not less. Percentages are mischievous little gremlins—they love flipping your expectations.

And yes, you can have negative percentages. A 10% drop in your mood after a Monday meeting? Totally valid. Math understands your pain.
