    South Africa’s hidden property hotspots where homes sell for seven times less

    The phrase seven times less is confusing to me. I asked ChatGPT to explain. " 1. “7 times less” could mean: Divide by 7 → e.g., “100 is 7 times less than 700” (because 100 = 700 ÷ 7). Subtract 7 times the amount → e.g., “100 is 7 times less than 800” would mean 800 – (7×100) = 100. But this...

    Insurance Brokers Service Fee

    The broker didn't disclose to me what the fee covered; they just said 'services,' with nothing in the stack of documents that I could see. I agree that I must compare total costs.

    Article Mistake corrections

    I see that differently in that less does not mean divide. So I aked the guru chat GPT this is the answer. " No, 1/7th and "7 times less" are not the same—they mean very different things. 1/7th Means you divide by 7. Example: If you have 70, then 1/7th of 70 is: 707=10\frac{70}{7} = 10770=10...

    Article Mistake corrections

    Shouldn't the headline be 1/7th, not 7 times less? If 7 times less is a formula, would it be 100 x (-7) +100? I seem to be put off by nonsensical headlines, so I can't take the article seriously.
