Hi all,
Can anyone help me with a bit of maths?
Alex's basal rate has gone up from 0.025 units per hour to 0.275 units per hour.
I want to know how much of a % increase this is - but i am useless at maths and cant seem to work it out!😱Bev
Thanks god you didnt put this on the pumpers thread Bev!!! 😉
He he - are you useless at maths too?
Karinagal,
Thanks for the reply - but still being thick (me) where does the 11 come into it? 😱
No flipping wonder i have been battling with his levels- 1000% is huge!!!!😱Bev
Another method is:
Initial amount = 0.025
Final amount = 0.275
Actual increase = 0.275-0.025
= 0.25
Percentage increase
= 0.25 ?100
0.275
= 1000%
(to change a fraction to a percentage, multiply by 100)
Hope this makes sense.
im just as impressed how quickly you responded as to the maths and the explanation hello by the way!!
In my case I cheated - asked hubby first and THEN worked it out.. me bad..!

Now i understand it this way! If my maths teacher had explained things like this - perhaps i wouldnt be so rubbish now!Thanks.🙂Bev

Suddenly realised the middle bit was wrong 😱 and should be:
Percentage increase
= 0.25 ?100
0.025
=1000%
ie. percentage increase = actual increase divided by initial amount ? 100
Sorry about that - my only excuse is it's a bit late for this sort of thing. 😱 😱 😱

Right i am confused now!
Is the increase 1100% or 1000% - i 'thought' i understood it -no wonder i hated maths! lol😱Bev
