if it takes me 60 seconds to make a cup of tea, and my manager wants me to make it 25% faster, does that mean i make it in
a) 60/1.25 = 48 seconds
b) 60*0.75 = 45 seconds
some people say a, some people say b. What do you guys think?
I think personally think it's a.
If someone told you to make it 100% faster that means make it twice as fast => 30 seconds, if someone told you to make it 200% faster it means 3x as fast as original => 20 seconds. so 25% faster => 48 seconds.
I believe 60 * 0.75 means a reduction by 25% and not faster by 25%...
