MAGA Challenge #33

A 1500% discount means the discount is 15 times the original price. For a $500 medicine, a 1500% discount is:
1500% of $500 = 15 × $500 = $7500.

Since this discount exceeds the original price, the cost after discount is: $500 - $7500 = -$7000. A negative cost implies the provider would owe money, which is not practical.

In most real-world scenarios, a discount greater than 100% would result in a price of $0, as you can’t pay less than nothing. Therefore, with a 1500% discount, Grandma would pay: $0 (the medicine is free).

Math is hard.. If the US is paying 1500% more than the EU, Trump's EO lowered the price to the EU price...

Exactly!
Except I disagree with the last line. That would assume that any number above 100% would be the same as 100%. Making all numbers above 100 irrelevant. For example, if I offered you a 100% money back guarantee, and you were unhappy with your $100 purchase, I would have to give you $100 back. BUT - If I offered you a 110% money back guarantee, then I would have to give you $110.

Wrong. Leave math to the adults.

Apologies. I mistakenly thought that we would be engaged in an intelligent discussion. Where after I read every word you wrote, and responded to the entirety of your comment, that you would read the entirety of my reply, and respond in kind. So I regret wasting your time, and mine. But worry not. Going forward I won't read your comments, and waste any more of your time by replying.
