Going Up

📋 What it is

A percentage change tells you how BIG a jump is relative to where you started: (new − old) ÷ old × 100. "Up 50" means nothing without the starting number.

🗣️ Coach says

Your views went up by 100. Huge — or tiny? From 100 to 200 is +100%. From 10,000 to 10,100 is +1%. The same "+100" can be a breakout or a rounding error. Always ask: percent of WHAT?

🧠 Memory hook

Growth = change ÷ starting point. "+100" is meaningless without the base.

😂 Giggle

What did the A test say to the B test?
"May the best version win!"

😲 Whoa!

Headlines love "sales up 200%!" because a jump from 1 to 3 sounds enormous as a percent — the base was just tiny.
