If the game is usually $60, it would be $31.

It's $1 + half the price, but the price is not defined. In this scenario it's $1 or NaN, depending on your logic.

>>677134104
no maths needed here
just logic
everything is always half + half
so if one half is missing, then we have the other half, which in this case is 1
then the missing half has to be 1 too

Oh and, The Game, you lost it.

1.5

>>677136314
Alright, So because your final product has to be a number that 1 is the half of. You have 2.
f(x)=1/2(x)+1
-1=1/2(x)
-1(2)=x
and since we are talking about much it costs it cant't be a negative so it would be 2. The reason 1.5 doesn't work is because 1/2 of the finished product would be .75. and 1+.75 doesn't equal 1,5.

>>677134462
But it's also plus half that cause that's it's new price. To find the answer you have to find the asymptote that the input/output approaches as you add half its price onto the current given input value

Still convinced it's a dollar fifty, why try to complicate it

>>677137340
when taken that way it become infinite
1 + 0.5 = 1.5
1.5 + 0.75 = 2.25
2.25 + 1.125 = 3.375

by the nth term it becomes infinite or you can look at it like

(1 + 1/2)^n
(1)^n + (1/2)^n
1 + 1 = 2

or

1.50 because we the initial 1 is fixed so we only need to add half once

or, as the actual price of the game isn't specified you could say it's just

((game price e.g. $50) / 2) + 1 = 26

>>677138293

I think you mean why try to understand it.

$1.50 and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking troll.
The cost of the game is 1 dollar. Plus half of a dollar. That is 50 cents. So the total cost is a dollar and fifty cents fuck off trolls.

All you autists claiming to be engineers need to go back to school. A game costs 1$ plus half it is price. It's=it is. The sentence does not specify what the half belongs to. Therefore the price is unknown. It's like having two variables in the equation.

To have an asymptote you need multiple values that fit the answer.

Find me an answer to X=0.5X+1 other than 2. (Inf doesn't count, it's not a number)

And seriously,

If a game costs $1 plus half of its price. You can't say it could be $50. Because then you are saying $50 is equal to $26.

I have never seen a bigger display of retardation.

Then you're an idiot, because he's right. Tbe price of the game isn't $1, so half it's price isn't $0.50.

>>677134104
A game costs 1 plus half it's price so:
x=1+(1/2)x where x is the price of the game.
x-(1/2)x=1
(1/2)x=1
x=2
The game costs 2 dollars

>>677140497
In the equation it LITERALLY SAYS IN FRONT OF YOU that the game costs ONE DOLLAR.

>>677139984
0.5 is a ratio you brain dead chode.

If the game did cost $1.50. The question would then read. "My game costs half of $1.50 plus $1.00, which calculates to be $1.75. However I just said that my game is $1.50 so therefore I'm a total fucking mong."

The game is a dollar fitty because tax is 50cents.

>>677141345
Obviously you can't do math. The price isn't a dollar, it's $1 plus half it's price. You get x = 1 + x/2 where x is the price of the game. Solving yields, x = $2.

>>677141492
The sentence flows as one. People are reading it stupidly by assuming that the game costs 1$.

By assuming that the game costs $1, you can't add anything to it otherwise it no longer costs $1, it then costs more than that.

If you start by saying it costs $1, you finish by saying it costs $1.5

If you start by saying it costs $2, you finish by saying it costs $2.

The sentence is vague. The maths isn't

Hope that helped.

>>677134104
the only correct answer $1.75

1. If we assume that the cost of the game and the price are the same variable, than
x = 1 + 0.5x
x = 2

2. If we assume that the price of the game is a seperate variable than
x = 1 + 0.5p

3. We assume that it is infinite

The correct price is $666 because Satan designed this goddamn question.

>>677134104
>A game costs half its price
So half off of the original price, but the original price is not given. Not enough information, it could cost anything more than $1.01

Infinity is a concept not a number

>>677134104
>wut is recursion

>>677142172
It;s not really a limit, just a very strange way to represent the price. If you notice, the price increases with each iteration (if you do it the wrong way), even if you start at $0, and the amount the game increases in price also increases with each iteration. So, instead of asymptotically approaching a limit, it continues to accelerate growth, growing without bound. However, it isn't an iteration problem, it's just a very strange way to represent the value (where there is only 1 value - $2 that makes the equation work).

>>677142923
If the game costs $1 like you say... How does it then cost $1.50 at the end of your post?

Ok. I'm quite highly educated in maths, but you don't need complicated equations to solve this.

Game costs $1 + half of it's price.
If you have the price and you remove half of it. All you're left with is 1$.
This means that the 50% you removed is $1. 1+1=2

If you think the answer is anything but $2. Do it in reverse.
Say you think it's $1.50.
1.50 - 1.50/2 = 0.75 =/= 1

$1 + 0.5 * $1.50 = $1.75. With the logic that takes you to $1.50, the price keeps rising.

I hope I cleared something up for you and I apologize if this isn't how you type out equations.

>>677142583

2/2 =1

impossible to answer since we don't know the price.

Cost does not equal price, and therefore without the price figure we can't calculate the cost.

Besides, the price of a product would never be determined in this way. More realistically the price would be established by observing the accumulated costs of production, then adding a mark up based on industry standards.

right but that's only if you assume cost and the price are the same. I kinda looked at it as final cost and original price just because for all numbers other than 2 it wouldn't work. If the game was $60 then it would be 60 = 31 which is wrong. But if cost = price in that first sentence then you are right and the game is 2 dollars.

Oh and look what happens if you say the game is equal to $1. You finish with $1.50, so now you need to do it again as the game has a new price. So now it becomes $1.75, but oh look, time to do it again.

And then after a while it stops at $2.

It's either $2 or the game changes prices and becomes $2 and stays at that price. You can't escape it.

You must have never done algebra. Replace x with an actual number and see how retarded you sound. Hint replace it with 2 and the whole thing makes sense. Because you're not using x as 2 numbers. You're just doing differ things to tje same number.

>>677145607
Not even a good attempt.

So the price is $1.50? Cause you said it was $1 at the start.

>>677143966
You aren't starting at $1, retard. $2 = $1 + 2/2 = $2.

>>677144268
The cost of the game is the cost of the game. The statement is only true for $2 because 2 = 1 + 2/2 = 1 + 1 = $2.

Do you say that the price and the cost are different things?

If you admit to some bullshit that the game is on sale then that's fine.

But if it is a fixed price and you pay that price. It's $2. Enough said.

>>677145607
> ALRIGHT, SO WE START OUT WITH A DOLLAR
PRICE=1

There's your problem. The price is x, it's what you're trying to find. The price isn't $1, it's $1 + 1/2*x (the price).

X = 1 + 1/2X | -X
<=> 0 = 1 - 1/2X | -1
<=> - 1 = -1/2X| *(-1)
<=> 1 = 1/2X | * 2
<=> 2 = X

It's that simple.

Get a load of this faggot

Compromise, agree that it's £1.75

>A game costs $1
This is its price. The game's price is $1.
>plus half its price
"Plus" meaning "in addition". This is an amount added on to the price of the game, and does not factor into the price itself until the addition has been resolved. Half of the game's price is 50 cents. Add this to the price, and the final cost of the game is $1.50.

You fucking retards.

>>677146522
No, you're just being a retard. This is high school level algebra, how do you not know this? Read the picture, the price is never said to be $1. Maybe you failed english too?

The grammar is incorrect. Its, not it's. Fags.

>>677134104
it costs $1. Half it is price. I don't know what the other half is (Profit????), but half it's price, so that means this:

A game costs $1, plus half it is price.

>>677146731
B8 or dumb
Can't decide

>>677146731
So cost does not equal price?

1 + (1.50/2) = 1.75

Full price = x

x = 1/2x + 1
x - 1/2x = 1
1/2x = 1
x = 2

> a game costs $1 PLUS HALF ITS PRICE

Tell me again how the game costs just $1.

You need to solve x = 1 + x/2, this is high school level algebra. When you do so, you find that x = 2 is the only solution. Note that using this you see $2 = $1 + $2/2 = $1 + $1 = $2.

>>677146864
Ok,

So when you take $1 and add it to something that has been halved, and it equals the thing that has been halved. What number is that?

>>677145607
half it's price means half it is price. Half the game's cost ($1) is price.

>>677147133
Haha, so the price is half of the cost?

WTF you cant calculate the price theres no way of knowing theprice you fucking retards

>>677134104
How the fuck can a game have two costs at the same time?

>>677134688

Retards, I'm a chink so here you go:

x = 1 + 1/2x
x - 1/2x = 1
1/2x = 1
x =1/(1/2)
x = 2

If I got that wrong, fuck you, you're wrong.

>>677147291
Unless it's one cost. And it's $2.

>>677147082
you're misreading.

"A game costs $1, plus half it is price."

Not, "A game costs $1, plus half its price."

One creates a weird problem, the other is a simple dirty trick. Ours is the simple dirty trick. Punctuation dictates that half the game is price and the other half, I assume, is profit. Or something. Either way, there's no sum. The game costs $1.

>>677147238
I assume that means the manufacturing price is $.50

>>677147291

Jews. They sell it for a dollar to other jews and for two dollars to the goyim.

If we set x as the original price and y as the new price. We can use:

Y = x +x/2
Y = 1.5

>>677147413
If you assume that cost and price means the same thing here. (How much it costs you, and how much they shop sells it to you)

Then if you assume that the game costs $1 then you end up saying that it consts $1.50, clearly a logical error.

Only if you assume the cost to be $2, does it come back as $2.

It's the only way and it dictates which was the question should be read. As one way leads to an error.

>>677134104
Piece of piss.

>game costs $1
>plus half of its price (half of $1.00 = 50 cents)

$1.50

>>677147344
no wonder you can't read, you're a chink.

"A game costs $1, plus half it's price."

Half the game is price, half the game is probably profit or something. The game costs $1. It's a punctuation trick. They put it in English to trick your dirty chink mind into thinking it's a math problem.

The series is divergent to positive infinity
The first few terms are:
1,1.50,2.25,3.38,4.53
As you can see, the amount by which the series increases also increases, therefore it diverges. Q.E.D.

Did you just call yourself a faggot?

>>677147413
> One creates a weird problem, the other is a simple dirty trick. Ours is the simple dirty trick. Punctuation dictates that half the game is price and the other half, I assume, is profit. Or something. Either way, there's no sum. The game costs $1.

No it doesn't, it creates a basic word problem given to 10th graders every day in algebra. There is a price, x, such that this price is equivalent to $1 plus half this price. In numbers it's x = 1 + x/2, or x = 2. Checking this 2 = 1 + 2/2 = 1 + 1 =2. $2 is the only value where $1 plus half the value of the price equals the price.

>>677147761
You're thinking about it wrong. Half the game's cost is its price to the manufacturer.

>>677147492
Good, a solid answer that incorporates a difference between price and cost and therefore creates a new answer with a different situation.

Well done. However we tend to assume that price and cost are not changing as this answer doesn't provide enough info to determine manufacturing costs.

But thank you for being a lateral thinker.

>>677147929
you stopped reading at the "weird problem" bit, didn't you? You're taking this as an algebra problem. This is a punctuation problem. Half the game's cost is price. That means half the game's cost doesn't go to the people selling the game.

>>677147796
I love how this argument just comes to $1.50 and is happy. What IS $1.50, why did you calculate it, and what is that money doing? If it costs $1, why are you paying $1.50? Why is $1.50 even in your head?

>>677140642
Your logic is extremely bizarre and retarded.

No idea where you're even getting 1.75 from.

The answer is $1.50 because half of a dollar is 50 cents.

>>677147633
The price doesn't change. You are looking for a value that equal 1 + half the price. The only solution is 2.

>>677147831
No it isn't, it's not a series, it's a basic algebra problem. The price isn't changing.

There is no solution until the ambiguity of the statement is resolved. It's like asking, "what's the difference between an orange?".

This is not a real sentence and doesn't mean anything. It's just retarded English.

OP's question relies on the reader being smart enough to overlook the poor, nonsensical grammer and see that the question is really asking "What is half of a dollar + one dollar?"

$1.50

>1 + (0.5^n) = x which tends to 1 + 1 as n tends to infinity
You're telling me 0.5^n -> 1 as n -> infinity? Because that's just wrong, Liz. It's just *wrong*.

>>677148141
No, I read it, you're just wrong. You are supposed to be looking for a value such that x = 1 + x/2. The price isn't changing and the price was never set at $1.

>>677148186
More retardation. Go retake high school algebra.

>>677147996
price and cost are two different things, man. To you the consumer they're the same, but is something's price the same as its cost to a place like Home Depot? Certainly not. This is something an accountant would say. The algebra problem you're looking at isn't the problem, because you can see clearly the punctuation that says "A game costs $1 plus half it is price," which means that the game costs $1. Half it is price, so the seller only makes $.50 per game.

>>677148186
$1.50 isn't just an answer, it's a cost, a price, a value for something. This only happens if you agree that the cost of the game, and the price of the game is different.

Idk if im taking bait here, but youre all degenerates. The problem in this question is grammar.

Costs $1.00, plus half its price
=1.50

Costs $1.00 plus half its price
=1.00

Trick question

you can't half one because if you did there wood be nothing left.

2.25$

1$ + half its price means the original price is actually 1.50$ PLUS halfs its price
= 2.25

>>677134461
hahahahahaha

depends how much the game costs.

>$1
>plus half its price

dunno what its price is.

It costs $1.
