How does 2% * 4% = 25% * 16%?
3 comments

If profit is 25% of revenue, then 4 percent of revenue is 16 percent of profit.

Not sure what your equation is besides randomly putting numbers on a line.

25% * 16% = 4%.

He's saying they're taking 16% of Canadian profit. Or maybe his numbers are off.

Don’t ruin their fiction with facts.
