      I think it’s because if you take the numbers individually, 225 looks like it would be half of 550 because 25 is half of 50.

      But in actuality, half of 550 is 275.

        I don’t know where you got your doctor from mister but it certainly isn’t in mathematics. The post is making fun of people like you defying the laws of basic calculus.
