But in real math, it works like this:

50% = 0.5x
100% = 1x
200% = 2x
300% = 3x
thats actually MORE confusing than helpful.... you cant just leave your percentages hanging out there naked... 100% (of WHAT) equals 1x (where x equals what)

you wouldnt, for example, seriously propose that a 200% reduction in build time equals a 2x faster build, would you?
