Definition
一百五 is a colloquial way to say '150' in Chinese. It's a shortened form of 一百五十 (yī bǎi wǔ shí), dropping the 十. You'll hear this in everyday speech, especially when talking about prices, quantities, or numbers. Be careful not to confuse it with 一百零五 (105) — the 零 is crucial for numbers with a zero in the tens place.
