Here's a basic math question: Question: You have 10 coconuts. Someone gives you 5 more coconuts. What percentage of additional coconuts were you given? A. 10% B. 33% C. 50% D. 75% Is this AT&T Commercial correct or did they falsely make a claim? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDOz6MDSS1Q
The commercial is correct. These types of calculation are based on the original amount. 5 is half of 10, so you're getting 50% more.
C; 50% 5 coconuts is half of 10 coconuts so having 10 coconuts and receiving an additional 5 coconuts is like receiving half your coconuts.
