…we (me and my family members) think in terms of fractions when dealing with large numbers and differences when the numbers are small.

Guessing they mean;
A 5 EUR coffee is 1 EUR more than a 4 EUR coffee.
A 50000 EUR car is 5/4th or 125% times a 40000 EUR car.
…is the most cursed thing I’ve seen all day. Especially so when you realize that when you convert it to a decimal of 1.25, the sentence is completely correct. Bravo. 😅👏
In my native language % means “per cent”, meaning per hundred.
So it reads as 125 per 100 times 40000.
Is that not the case in English?
I’ve never seen anyone write it like that in English. It is understandable when you explain it, but it would normally be written simply as 1.25
