Interesting - He always said that I was killing myself with sub 5% stuff, but I know that 30 paracetamol tablets in 12 hrs is fatal, but 30 in a week is no problem.

Maths never was his strong point: 9% - 8% = 1%

1% of 9% is ~ 11%. He's talking about the reduction.

1% of 9% is 0.09%.

122% of 9% is ~ 11%.

As I said, he's talking about the reduction from 9% to 8%. It's an 11%

Indeed.

11.25% to be precise, but rounding to whole numbers seems more than
reasonable.

It is certainly not 11.25%. Even if you were calculating (9% - 8%)/9 you wouldn't end up with precisely 11.25%. You are precisely 5%/36 out.

but rounding to whole numbers seems more than
reasonable.

9 (the old value) divided by 8 (the new value).

He was getting 9/9ths and is now getting 8/9ths.

9/8 - 1.125.
