When we say "X is 1.5 times greater than Y", what is the appropriate equation for this?
X = 1.5Y OR X = Y + 1.5Y
X = 1.5Y OR X = Y + 1.5Y
"1.5 times greater" would be the difference between x and y.f2001290 wrote:When we say "X is 1.5 times greater than Y", what is the appropriate equation for this?

I'd say x = y + 1.5y.
