how did you get 0.005%? 3 x 100 / 522 is a 0.575 percent increase

~~3/522, no reason to multiply by 100. Not sure why you are.~~

You’re right my bad.

that's how percentages work lol. if you have 100 usd, 100.5 usd would be a 0.5% increase not a 0.005 percent increase (which you would get by dividing 0.5/100, right?)

You’re quite right, I’m a dummy.
