It's getting a little bit predictable, but Apple has reported yet another stellar set of quarterly financial results. The company has sold more Macs and iPhones than the same quarter last year, but sales of the iPod were down compared to the same quarter last year. Profits and gross-margins were also up.

Well,it really depends how you count these percentages. One could say (to simplify the math here) company A sells 100 items for 1000 doing 350 profit,that is 35000 total.
Now,selling 50% more items will translate to 150 items sold instead of 100.
Selling 150 for 800 with a profit of 35% per piece is 280 profit per piece totaling 42000 profit. I think this is what the original poster wanted to say.
