AlCalavicci 05/18/21 11:48:15 PM #9:	BlueHairVegeta posted... Yeah, this probably qualifies under It depends on how it's stated. The Topic title is kind of unclear in the stating, and it can be taken a couple of ways. Saying "it costs 4x more than that", with that equaling $10, might mean that it's $40 more than $10, meaning $50. However, when I hear 4x more, I hear "4x as much", which would be 4x$10, equaling $40. I think most people (including myself) take it this way. --- http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111123223446/simpsons/images/9/99/K.png I didn't even give you my coat! <cite>AlCalavicci posted [p:954060790] in $10.

Think of it in this context: It costs four times less = $2.50 It costs four times more = $40 I don't think people would say "costs 4 times less" because it's pretty unintuitive what that means. I think they'd say "it costs a quarter as much" or "it's 75% off". I know people misuse the phrase, but "more" means that it has to be more. 20% less doesn't mean -20%. And 50% more doesn't mean half as much. More means more, people misuse it, but people misuses a lot of things. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:954062800] in $10.
