On 01/23/2015 the price of gas was $2.19/gal.

On 02/25/2015 the price of gas was $3.03/gal.

Let's see, that's an $0.84/gal increase in 33 days.

$3.039/$2.199 = 1.38% increase

I think the % is a little more than 1.38, but then I am no
mathematician. Maybe that is the new math. I get 38% increase, but
again, I am an amateur.

Better try again, Lew.

3.039 - 2.199 = 0.84
0.84 / 2.199 = 0.38

G. Ross is right -- the increase is 38%.

Wrong again! A 138% increase, one hundred thirty eight percent increase
would be about $6.67. A 100% increase would be double.

The correct formula is 2.199 + 38% = 3.034

Let's see, that's an $1.06/gal increase in 36 days.

$3.259/$2.199 = 1.482 increase if you want a budget item

No, that is actually a 1.06 increase....as you first indicated in the
sentence above the last. You are only talking dollars up to this point.

Now if you said a "1.482 "Percent"" increase, you would then be correct.

It is becoming much more easy to understand how the citizens are being
sold all of this "stuff" the government is selling.
