1.50$ tbh

x = x/2 + 1

x/2 = 1

x = 2

The question is a contradiction. Such a game doesn't exist

1+x/2=y
x=y/2

1+(y/2)/2=y
1+y = y
0=1

There's really no definitive answer, because the cost of the game isn't given. You're all making the assumption that 1$ is the actual price, but that's not explicitly stated. IF IT WERE, it's obviously 1.50$

ITT: faggots who think one half of 1 is 1

game price = G

G= 1+ G/2
G= ∞

x is the total cost.
The question is 1 + 1/2x.
2 is the only substitution of x that gives itself (1 + (2/2) = 2) 3 gives 2.5, 4 gives 3, 5 gives 3.5, etc. Therefore the total cost is $2.

>>677482422
It can not be solved. You all are assuming you know the price. If the price is $100 then the answer will be $51 ie, half plus one dollar. Without knowing the price, No answer can be found. Look at this way.. you are trying to find out the answer to A+B=C. You need two of those (any two) to find the third, in this example we only have one A.B, or C. It can not be solved.

x = x/2 + 1 , multiply by 2
2x = x + 2 , take away x
x = 2

The game can literally cost anything.
1 + x/2 can be anything since x can be any number.

T is the total price, meaning it's $1 plus half if what the game itself costs. Think of the $1 as a tax or something, whatever the fuck the situation is I don't care. We have to assume game-price and total-price are two different things. The game price is found by dividing the total price by two after the $1 has been subtracted.

You can also solve this recursively.

P = 1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½P))
P = 1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(...
etc.

Solving:

P = 1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(...
P-1 = ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(...
2P-2 = (1 + ½(1 + ½(1 + ½(...
2P-2 = P
P-2 = 0
P = 2

Also, if you read at above the 4th grade level, you interpret words and not simply speak them in your mind. So when you see "it's" you should automatically interpret "it is". When someone uses the improper word, you have to go back and reinterpret their meaning and then unnecessarily use contextual skills to derive their meaning. It's not a minor detail. A minor detail is something like not capitalizing your 'I' or any letter in general , using a single space after a period instead of a double space, not using an oxford comma, or forgetting the apostrophe in an otherwise unreal word (youre instead of you're makes no difference, but its instead of it's makes a world of difference as it changes the context).

Costs= $1 + Half its price.
(Don't know the cost) = $1 + (Don't know half the price or know the price to half it).
This can not be solved.

Fare enough

from a business standpoint, you can't know what its cost is. Cost and price are different things, cost relating to manufacturing or developing cost, while price refers simply to retail price. It doesn't state what the price is, therefore we can't know what the cost is.

>>677491102
>fare
i kek at what you did there

>>677482422

It is so easy actually , I don't know how you can have difficulties here ...

Price = Y
Equation say : Game cost 1$ + Y/2
So the game cost Y/2 +1

>>677491222
trips don't lie

I mean, at the point in which it says "plus half of its cost", that would refer to the current price of the game which would simply be $1 + 50c.
But if it was actually recursive, it would just exponentially grow to infinity, because adding half still would have a positive gain.

>>677491268
however you can't actually use a linear equation in this case to model it properly. in the OP it's simply the value of the price that is being evaluated, there is no dependent variable.

>>677483801
So you're saying 99 is half of 100?

If the price is 1.50, then .75 is half of the price. Therefore, 1 + .75 should equal 1.50. Instead it equals 1.75. Proof by contradiction

You retards dont realize its impossible. Just use your brain for a second

>>677482422
nothing, because I'll pirate it.

I have MBA in finance. (Brag intended).

It cannot be solved. The price is missing therefore the price can be any number. The confusing part is "the price is 1$ + half", where everyone assumes there is a correlation between the dollar and the price. But the dollar can be added to any value as they are not correlated. It is the same with cost management; whether you have 30 shipments or 50 ( bad example), the fixed cost will stay the same - that's why it is fixed. Same goes for the dollar in this example.

>>677493354
Proof that law students shouldn't do math. You're dumb as a brick son.

>>677482422
The real question is does it cost me a dollar to shop lift this game?

We can not mathematically solve it because we are not given the actual price. Just how much it costs. You guys are assuming the price is $1, so it will be $1.50, but if that was the case, half of it would be $.75, and so on. You then have infinite money.

However, logically, we know that the answer is $2, because that is the only number where half of it, 1, is enough to, when added to 1, equal 2.

>>677492660
I still don't understand.
Let's say the game costs $100. Now, according to the text, half of 100 + 1 should be equal to $100. But 100/2+1 = 51!

Now let's say the game costs $2. 2/2+1 = 2.
So I think the only answer is 2.

But if you then decide that the price is 1.50, half of it is 0.75, meaning the price is now 1+0.75=0.75... It's a paradox... A price of 2 is the only solution that satisfies x=1+x/2

>>677495757
because half of 51 is 25.5. 25.5+1 = 26.5
26.5 is not equal to 51

do the same math with 2, and it works, because 2 is the only correct answer.

If you add half of 1 onto 1 you get 1.50, now if you take half off it is 1.50 minus .75 equaling .75. That logic tells me the answer is not two. This problem can not be solved.

if you can't literally prove that the price isn't $2, you can't disprove the solution. that's on you, not everyone else, because price = $2 is a functioning solution at this time

>>677495974
Why do you think cost and price are the same. Imagine you go to a store. The salesman says "we're having a sale today. You can buy anything for half its price plus a dollar" do you think this statement only apply to items with a certain price?

>>677482422

3 possibilities :

If Cost=Price it's 2
If the cost it's (N+1) with N=Price, it's impossible
If you'r an economist, you can say that cost=/=price

then you need a second equation to resolve this shit

>>677496442
You speak with such authority, yet you're no more right than I am. Plus, economics is a junk science, so using the everyday meaning of the word cost as synonymous with price makes all the more sense.

>>677492660
Dude I could have solved this CORRECTLY when I was 8. The answer is 2. Having a degree doesn't mean jack shit, especially that one.

>>677496167
>says who
says the logic of the problem. You can not find the price without knowing the cost. If they were the same, knowing one would mean you knew the other.

>>677482422
It cost ONE THOUSAND SHEKELS

Anyone using two variables in ther formula is a moron, btw.
you only need x and .5x , no need for y.

Holy shit
If half the games cost plus 1 equals the entire games cost, the game costs $2

>>677496742
You think I'm arguing whether or not it is $2
>I am not
not semantics at all.
You just want to be right, that's all this is about

>>677495531
No one actually solved it correctly, they assumed the cost was equal to the price. The formula was correct, but it did not match the statement.

Nigga. Cost is what's coming out of your pocket. Price is what the sales sticker says. They are not equal

This cannot be solved. Mathematically, it should be an easy go and the answer would be 2. But the text is a bait where you cannot get a real price because its value is increasing proportionally up to infinity. This text is a trap for all you idiots thinking 2 is the answer.

Cost: the price of something : the amount of money that is needed to pay for or buy something
-Merriam-Webster

Two can argue from semantics.
Since cost = price according to the definition of cost, we have an equation in one variable, which is solvable yielding answer 2.

>>677483432
Honestly

>>677491222
and since the cost relies on the price it makes it super inefficient, as you'd always be selling the item for $1 less than you manufactured it for

Price is the amount a customer pays for that product or service. The difference between the price that is paid and the cost that is incurred is the profit the business makes when the item sells. If a customer pays $10 for an item that costs the company $5 to produce and sell, the company makes a $5 profit.

>>677498700
>can you prove any real numbers that don't work?
Yeah, 1. Half of 1 is .50, add 1 to that, $1.50.
1 =/= 1.50

Price = The sticker price of what you’re buying.

Cost = What you stand to lose in time, efficiency, problem-solving, etc. if you don’t consider your return-on-investment.

The cost of this thread is too damn high
/thread

>>677485271
It is for every number but 2.
G = 1+ G/2 right? So if the price is 2, then
2 = 1+(2)/2
2 = 1+1
2=2

So 2 as the price doesn't change the loop in any way. It will never increase or decrease. Ergo, 2 is the correct answer.

>>677499090
Exactly. Cost and price are not the same thing. That is why the equation 1+x/2=x does not work. In this problem, they may be the same, but that is in this specific equation. And people are assuming they are the same, and in a math problem, you can never assume.

>>677486431
try t = 1

Total cost = C
Price = P
The cost is equal to one plus half the price, therefore
C = 1 + P/2
Therefore, the price can be anything, not necessarily 2.

What happened to your x in the second line?

The second line should be, if you rearrange it:

2x/2 + 1 = 0
therefore
x + 1 = 0

You have more variables than values, it's unsolvable.

>>677499637
As I've said, this can not be mathematically solved, but we know the answer is 2, because 2 is the only number where half of it added to 1 is two.

don't call PC masterrace because you can pirate the games. You should still support the developers, but be happy that u can mod, dont have to pay for online services and generally pay less for games.

cost is $1.50 for first answer then, $1.50 +50% of that ,keeping on recurring +50% of previous answer infinitively

C=1+p/2
You need one more variable or a second equation to solve this otherwise this is the answer.

>>677497349
Try to work this problem backwards with any other number.

Lets say the price of the game is $3. Now the game is supposed to be equal to $1 + half the price. Does $3 fit that condition? No. Keep trying any other number and you will get the idea of why the algebraic description of the problem stated in this thread by others is correct and the only possible answer is $2.

>>677499206
Yeah, no shit. That's why cost and price can't both be X. Stupid ass.

The statement clearly says the game costs $1 more than half its price, forget algebra you autistic fucks, if it's one dollar more than half it's total price it's total price can only be $1 + $1 so $2.00. There is no paradox.

>>677500697
Nigger, I agree price and cost are not both x, we are on the same team.

1 + x/2 = x
1 = 3x/2
x = 2/3

>x = x/2 +1
>x - x/2 = 1
>x - x = 1 * 2 --- Here's your problem. You can put 2 multiplying, since you were subtracting something

I'd argue the reason why it's like this, is because the cost is permanently getting slightly higher. 1+1/2+ (1+1/2)/2+.... and so on.
