Answer

The statement goes up to 200%, which is impossible.

Work Step by Step

It is impossible for a wallet's size to be reduced by 200%. That means that twice the size of the wallet would be subtracted from it. After reducing something by 100%, it is no longer there, so it can't go to 200%. A more appropriate statement would be it "reduces your filled wallet size by 50%."
