Note carefully the fact that each price contains a different number of 
digits in it. This is not a typo.


are being charged 847% more, and the professionals are being charged 
8,847% more.

Alternatively, the home users get it 90% cheaper, and the students get 
it 98.88% cheaper.

The only plausible conclusion is that these are not the same product. 
There's no way in hell you can charge one group of people almost 90 
times the price that you charge another group of people unless the thing 
you're selling to them is actually different in some way. (And yet, the 
website insists that all three products each contain "all of 
Mathematica's features".)
