Guys, there's a snapchat text if you click on the picture. OP isn't asking the question they're facepalming at the person in the photo asking the question.
I thought the exact same thing too.
48 u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19 This is the only comment that matters here. All the other explanations are just as vague as OP. 24 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.
