## FAQ

### What is the difference between percent and percentage points?

If a rate rises from 4% to 5%, that is one percentage point but a 25% increase. Financial and political reporting conflates the two constantly, and the difference is usually the whole story.

### Why is a 50% fall not undone by a 50% rise?

Because each percentage applies to a different base. Falling 50% from 100 gives 50; rising 50% from 50 gives 75, not 100. Recovering a 50% loss requires a 100% gain.
