How much faster's the 100% mount than the 60%?

Potato.

If your base speed is 1, then on 60% your speed is 1.6 and on 100% your speed is 2.

1.6 times x = 2
x = 2/1.6
x = 1.25

Am I dum?

Don't provoke her... or she'll subject us to the "Monty Hall" problem, next!

 

[Selaya]

you might asw go find a solution to 1/x=0, might be easier than provoking me

 

[MYT]

40% of base speed faster

Are you saying it's 25% faster, or 1.25x as fast?

 

[Leek]

Oi round up the 66% pls

 

[melabeari]

66.666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666etc.......%

120% would be 100% faster than 60%

so 100% is 2/3 faster than 60%

and 2/3 is 66.66666666% repeating

 

[Chops]

repeating

of course

 

[melabeari]

of course

anyone know how to type with that line on top of the number to show repeating decimal??

Aren’t these the same?

 

[melabeari]

40% of base speed faster

correct, and if base speed is 60%, 40% is 2/3 of 60%, so convert 2/3 to a %

I don't believe there's any sort of diacritical modifier that would give you a vinculum, but many editors support "overline" formatting in addition to "underline" (but predictably not this forum).

(BONUS TRIVIA: I once got laughed at by my math class in elementary-school for referring to that by its appropriate name.)

Due to the question’s ambiguity, we have two possible solutions.

The mount is 67% faster.

The player would go 25% faster by comparison.

Reasons provided by the aforementioned scholars @Crystalpall & @melabeari

Also, x = +/- ∞
