You're better off not adding anything. If you could add 5% instead, then you'd be much better still.
- Jach 14y agoIdeally you add 14%. Why do you say 5% (or nothing) is better than 10%?
- dhimes 14y agoHe's taking the % of the wrong number: the number you get after multiplying by three, not the original. I do what you do: 3, +10% + 5% (which is easy after getting the 10%).
- Evbn 14y agoIt is easier to add 5% first, then triple, skipping the middle step.
- dhimes 14y agoNot for me- I get 10% to get the 5% so I have it anyway. However, you could work from the 3 you've already used as the tripling in your model, then take 10% of that then 1/2 of that to get there. I've just never done it that way (these are things I just do without thinking too deeply about).
