What does 1.5X mean….?

Hi. Trying to understand the math here (never a strong trait) but I have a card that is bv $5.00 and for it's refractor equivalent it is said to be 1.5X. Does that mean another 5.00 and then half --2.50 added to the 5.00 base card value, giving it a $12.50 total value? I'm confused because I see a card I could use as an example, but different total altogether:
2012 Bowman Chrome #214 Bryce Harper $8.
refractor equivalent is 1.5 (basic rookie)
2012 Bowman Chrome Refractor #214 Bryce Harper $25.
(maybe this is not a basic rookie valuation?) Anyway, is my math right?

$5.00 x 1.5 = $7.50

$8.00 x 1.5 = $12


Just multiply the given value by the multiplier

oh, okay. Pretty straight forward, my little mind was reading into it more than what was there. Thank you criollos…..

No problem. Also, I'm not 100% sure, but I think that these multiplications from the Beckett Magazine do not always match exactly with the online pricing guide. If I remember correctly, if you are using the Beckett Magazine and, after using the multiplier, you come up to a $48 BV, the online pricing will have it as $50 BV.
