    That’s just how numbers work. Those aren’t exponential increases, they are proportional. 30% will always be 30%.

    There’s no benefit to sensationalizing the math.

      The profit in dollars increases exponentially as the price goes up, punch that in a graphics calculator and tell me it’s not a curve that becomes steeper.

        you should really inform yourself what “exponential” means lmao. poster was right, it’s proportional growth(linear), not exponentional, there is no exponent here. The graphic with x for how much the product costs and with y for how much 30% of that are is a straight line:

        f(x) = 0.3x
