    600% exists. For example:

    $50 item…

    Let’s take 10% off…50x0.1=5…50-5=45, so $45.00.
    Let’s take 600% off…50x6=300…50-300=-250, so -$250.

    So I gotta go shopping soon for these things.

        Let’s take 10% off…50*0.1=5…50-5=45, so $45.00.
        Let’s take 600% off…50*6=300…50-300=-250, so -$250.

        I was wondering why it didn’t make sense, thanks. The inconsistent decimals and use of ellipses to separate ideas probably doesn’t help either, though.

      yeah but you’re using the wrong way to calculate percentage. Not the same one Trump uses.
