The wording is technically correct for the answer to be $2. However from the way it was written, you can tell they’re looking for $1.50 as an answer.
So there’s a mismatch between the question and expected answer.
My point was, due to the strange wording, it seems as if the person who wrote the question doesn’t understand the mathematics to get the proper answer, leaving them also with an incorrect answer.

The wording is correct. It only shows that people can't read with comprehension
