Wait—that’s not true, right? If it were doubling zero, it would stay zero, but “double digit growth” would be like adding at least 10 to the zero, right?
10 times zero is still zero
Yeah, but the statement wasn’t “multiplying growth,” it was just “double digit growth.” So, sure, multiplying 0 by any number stays zero, but adding to it does grow it. “Double digit growth” is basically +10 or more. Not 10x0, but 0+10(+).
The difference between addition and multiplication is tricky to understand.
Ah, thanks for the explaination
