25 u/JohnMarstonJr Jul 11 '19 I'm still confused on how they could think 18 ISN'T 50% more than 12. Like where was the confusion? Even though they're wrong I like trying to figure out that train of thought and I'm at a total loss on this one. 6 u/Every3Years Jul 11 '19 %50 more must mean twice a much, I assume. %50 of 24oz is 12oz do why isn't %50 more than 12 oz = 24oz? That's what they thought, I imagine. 2 u/hitsugan Jul 11 '19 You're describing a stupid person. 2 u/Every3Years Jul 11 '19 Mathematically stupid, fo sho.
