"Advanced sales for the game title InFamous for Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 increased this week at retailer Amazon.com. On Mon., the title held a 147 percent increase in sales."

Sweet! Is it possbile to see how many pre-orders Amazon.com have? Since 150% could be an increas from 1 to 2.5 games :) Article also said infamous currently hold no.67 in most pre ordered games.

So it went from 1 pre order to 147?

If its sales changed by 147%, it sold 1.47 copies, if they increased 147%, then they sold 2.47 copies

 

I wrote Increased, not change. And how do you figure that an increas of 147% is 2.47 copies? Isnt the percentile in relation to the current amout the game has been pre ordered?

 

If i have 2 shoes, and i increase my shoe inventory by 100% id have 4 shoes?

But if i had 10 shoes and i increased my shoe inventory by 100% id have 20 shoes?

 

So how do you get the number 2.47 copies?

147% of 1 copy is 1.47, so if you increase by that you get 2.47
