minus-squaredave@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·28 days agoA 99% reduction from $2.9 billion is $29 million. On the scale from $0 to $29 million, $7,386 is much closer to $0, so it’s more accurate to say the deal was cut by 100% unless you want to quote it with several decimal places. It’s 99.9997% to 4 places.
