Will someone help me with this math problem?

Multiplying by 2 is 200%, not 50%.

it is because of the equation....working it backwards

multiply by 2 is the same as divide by 1/2:fyi:

edit: you started with the answer and worked to the question....I started with the question and showed how to get the answer

Then there really isn't an argument now is there?

In my classes, we get problems both ways.

(x*1.5) * .5 = .75
x*1.5 = 1.5

x=32

See, its 32!

or to do the math for this problem
$.75 * 2 = $1.50

$1.50 * 2/3 = $1.00

(x*1.5) * .5 = .75
x*1.5 = 1.5

x=32
