Long before you get to 100%, everybody stops buying it. Zero times anything is zero.

They can go above 100% too. Canadian chocolate bar $420.69 when?

yeah, but 0 times infinite is undefined, so who knows what'll happen ;)

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Is it though? Wouldn't 0 times infinity still be 0?

[–] racemaniac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Nope, look it up, it's undefined.

You can define things that boil down to 0 x infinity that equal anything you like. It's undefined and is dependent on context. Infinity isn't this one number, it's a concept that encompasses a lot of things, and the way you achieve an infinity matter.

Isn't it anything divided by 0 is undefined? Granted, I only have a more or less intermediate level of math, but I was always taught that multiplication by zero is always zero. But then again, zero is weird and can break my brain just as much as infinity does.

[–] racemaniac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Indeed, any number multiplied by 0 is zero, but infinity is not a number.

So then it starts to depend on what the 0 actually means, and what the infinity actually means, and depending on the context 0 x infinity can be all kinds of things.
