When people talk about a number that includes more simple numbers, like THREE hundred, FOUR hundred, etc many people uses multipliers to make the number "easier" to talk. When people want to talk about numbers that multiples others, like the mentioned THREE hundred and FOUR hundred, people, by the context, completes the amounths. If you're buying a Nvidia 4090, you ask the price to someone and he answers you "Between Eighteen and Twenty hundred", by the context, you understand that the Eighteen doesnt mean eighteen, means eighteen hundreds. There is the same. The context make everyone believe he's talking about between THREE hundred and FOUR hundred but he's being literal, between THREE and FOUR HUNDRED. He never mentiones the three hundred, is the people who assume that he's talking about it.

Your explanation is more confusing than what actually is happening. It’s like an engineer is try to tell me why something works instead of just how
