# PS Website correction Written by Jim at 20 Nov 2005 17:50:16: Your website says: "It is often argued that UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) happen 10% more in uncircumcised boys. What does 10% more mean? 1 in 10 is 10% more than 1 in 100 on the other hand 1 in 6.000 is 10% more than 1 in 60,000. - What does "10% more" actually mean in terms of how often problems of this sort are occurring?" Your maths is wrong. 1 in 10 is the same as saying 10 in 100, which is really 900% more than 1 in 100. 10% more than 1 in 100 is 1.1 in 100, or 11 in 1,000. The point your making is still right but you're using the wrong figures to make it. Answers: Re: PS Website correction Robin 11/23/2005 17:41 (0)
