It's possible to have 100% wastage if it's installed in the wrong
house, if the wrong carpet is ordered, if the installer is a moron, or
the guy selling you the carpet is taking total advantage of your noob-

I provided scores of links that show carpet wastage to typically be
between 5% and 15%...which is roughly...errr....10%. *Show me just one
link that agrees with your grossly inflated wastage allowance and I'll
apologize. *Deal?

How's the search for the 30% to 50% wastage link going, keith?
I have an apology all ready to go whenever you are.
