    Whereas:

    In math, the first is an example of a multiplier, the second an adding to.



    x =/= +


    Come on, thats basic math. Not sure how anyone can disagree with it. xD
    In English it can be misunderstood if you don't grasp the subtleties of the language as well I suppose, but in math? o_O
    you also realize that math and english are different languages?

    "increased by 300%" in math terms can also translate to "increased by [a factor of] 300%" which also translate into "times three (x3)"
