Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Armand is playing a guessing game with his dad where he has to guess a number his dad is thinking of. His dad tells him that the number, when multiplied by 3, is three less than twice 51. What is the number?

### Response:
102 is twice 51 because 2 x 51 = <<2*51=102>>102
Three less than 102 is 99 because 102 -3 = <<102-3=99>>99
The number is 99/3 because 99 is the same as 3 times 33, and 33 is the number we are looking for.
#### 33
