I'm reading over some statistics, and I'm not getting where they are getting a certain percentage.

There was a rate of 49.8%

That rate was reduced to 22%

Here's the part I don't get...
It is said that is a reduction of 66%

No matter how I divide, subtract, add together, I'm just not getting this 66% figure.


Wha?

@chai2,
Do you have more context? It might have just been an error.

@engineer,
I'm thinking it's an error as well.

In context, it was the numer of forms that were handed in that were 100% complete.

Originally 49.8% where not completely filled out.
After training, only 22% were handed in not completely filled out.
