why is it that when i use a photocopier to enlarge something by 61% gives me the correct size but when i use Coreldraw or Paint Shop Pro's resizing features it gives me something totally different?

That conundrum is right up there with, "Why do they call a pair of pants a "pair" of pants? There is only one. Perhaps we will learn the anwser to both when we get to the other side.
The photocopier enlarges through optics. There is no such a thing as a perfect lens so there sill be some distortions of the 61%.
The paint and draw programs enlarge mathematically, and as long as the program is written correctly, then the output would be closer to 61%
If you photocopy sheets that are larger than the copier and paste the sections together you will notice that the lines can be off slightly due to distortions in the lens. If you print multiple pages off on a printer and tape them together the lines will join better.
Hope this helps.
I do know why they call pants a pair but I can leave that answer till we meet on the other side

My wife and I got the Moderna vaccine with our second shot last week. We had no reaction after the first shot but both of us had some body and fatigue for two days after the 2nd dose.
Here in Mid-Michigan, my wife & I (both 65) got our first shot - the Pfizer one - last Sunday; with our second one scheduled for March 21st. Both of us were a little fatigued that evening... went to be early. Next day, just had a sore arm where we received the shot. Hope it's that way with the second...
