If the price of a cell phone, 10 years ago, was 4 times (300%) higher
\n" ); document.write( "than it is now, can we say that the same cell phone is 300% cheaper
\n" ); document.write( "now?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "4 times higher is 400% higher, not 300%.
\n" ); document.write( "1 time higher is a 100% increase
\n" ); document.write( "2 times higher is a 200% increase
\n" ); document.write( "3 times higher is a 300% increase
\n" ); document.write( "etc
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Nothing can be 300% cheaper. If it's 100% cheaper, the price is zero (0).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
