Technically he would have to charge $15... If he would add 50% to the initial $20.

Yes, I'm a lot of fun at parties

You could make it work mathematically: the added 50% would need to be based on the initial price and not a modification on the adjusted price.

It's most logically interpreted as: x * 1.5 * 0.5 = 0.75x
But we could see it as: x - (x/2) + (x/2) = x

I'm equally fun at parties.

I’m too.. whatever.. to do the math. How much was it initially?
