[Avodah] arithmetic question

[Eli Turkel]

<<Also remember that you're used to thinking of percentages as a fraction
of the starting value, whereas chazal more often speak in terms of a
fraction of the larger value (milevar).>>

I have no problem with the 1/6 being a fraction of the starting or final
value. What confuses me it that the SA seems to be using both
simultaneously. That is onaah is raising (or lowering) the price by exactly
1/6 of EITHER the starting or final values
