对许多人来说，百分比这个话题充满了神秘、困惑和矛盾。一家银行声称，它的储蓄存款利率比城里其他银行的利率高10%，而其他银行的利率只有5%。一些投资者失望地得知，这一新的利率不是15%，而是5.5%。一个农民的收成不好，他的土豆产量比前一年减少了50%。他认为，如果他能增加他的产量在第二年的50%，他会回到他开始的地方。他说的对吗？
To many people, the subject of percentages is fraught with mystery, confusion, and paradox. A bank advertises that its interest rate on savings accounts is 10% higher than other banks in town which pay only 5%. Some investors are disappointed to learn that this new rate is not 15% but 5.5%. A farmer had a bad season and his potato yield decreased by 50% less than the year before. He figured that if he could increase his yield the next year by 50% he’d be back where he started. Was he right?
