It looks like I need your help.
In a webnews report by Sky News about the "Big Freeze" in the UK published early this afternoon, "Drivers [are] Urged To Take Care". At one point, the report states that "Icy roads and travel disruption also reportedly caused a 320% increase in staff absence."
Now I'm not a math whizz, but even I know that there must be something wrong with that percentage figure. Can anyone help?
Thanks muchly. Take care on those icy roads... -- and share your insights into these weird mathematics with me, please! :)
(Ah, now, this is not what my present view looks like. I took this picture three years ago, during a short break in the hilly country south-east of Berne, to recover from a traumatic experience.)
