1% / 8 = 0.125%

  Yes, but the article didn't carry the unit, which is important here. There are a couple problems with that line.

    It didn't need to carry the unit because it specified the unit in the description ("about a tenth of one per cent"). Further, I'm not sure why anybody would confuse 12 percent with about 1/10th of 1 percent. I think we're arguing semantics now!

      I don't know what to tell you! I suppose it's semantics in that it's logically wrong. Here are three correct ways to write what they meant (from most to least preferable): "an eighth of one per cent (.125%)" "an eighth of one per cent (.00125)" "an eighth of one (.125) per cent"
