But "30x" is just another way of saying "3000%". Or, "3000%" is just another way of saying "30x". "Shrinking by 30x" means the same thing as "shrinking by 3000%

- Karellen 4y agoHuh. Downdooted without explanation for correctly explaining how percentages work. Not something I expected on HN. Never change, interwebs!
- anon2020dot00 4y ago30x doesn't seem to mean 3000% but means 30 times original value. If I had starting capital of 100 usd and it increased by 20x then that means I gained 2000 usd which is 20x of my starting capital. EDIT: correction 30x is same as 3000%.
