Two years ago, the drug maker boosted the list price for Calcium EDTA by roughly 2,700 percent.
I understand the need for large numbers to wow the reader, but I find this less clear than "Two years ago, the drug maker multiplied the price of Calcium EDTA by 28".
- jamroom 10y agoThis is a standard way to present price changes. We don't say "the price was multiplied by 1.5" - we just say the price went up 50%. This isn't there to "wow" anything - we should already be wowed by the greed being presented in this case.
