\n" ); document.write( "1 time older = an increase of 100% --> 2 times as old.
\n" ); document.write( "2 times older = an increase of 200% --> 3 times as old.
\n" ); document.write( "3 times older = an increase of 300% --> 4 times as old.
\n" ); document.write( "4 times older = an increase of 400% --> 5 times as old.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4 times older is NOT the same as 4 times as old.
