The spreading of stupidity continues.

>>687863037
right so the best way to think of this is to think of it like programming

price= $1

price= price+(.5*price)
price = 1+(.5*1)
price = 1.5

it doesn't loop. its just $1.50.

Let's say it costs 1$ => the price is 1,5$
But then it costs 1,5$ => it's actually 2,25$
But then it's 3,375$
=>5,0625$
.
.
.
Therefore the price is infinitly.

This statement is unmistakenly and undeniably true.

>x=4
Where did that step come from?

>>687865446
>>687865453

the final price is x

it costs $1 plus x/2

so

x = 1 + x/2

-x/2 from both sides

x/2 = 1

multiply both sides by 2

2x/2 = 2

x = 2

Total cost is $2

it's $1 faggot

it's saying that
x = (x/2) + 1
2x/2 = x/2 + 1
1 = 2x/2 - x/2
1 = x/2
1*2 = x
x = 2
Now, that's asuming that the price and what it cost are the same thing. If we take it literal tho, then it's y = x/2 + 1

>>687864466
>>687865762
its not bait its a fact
its $1 plus half its original price
so the original price is X

so the problem is 1/2 of x plus 1

No, it costs half it's price plus $1. They're selling it for some unknown amount. It's a two variable problem.

cost = 1 + price / 2

cost = price = 2

cost = price / 2 + 1.

How much does it cost?

It is now bitch.

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

Let f(x) be a recurring function for which we have that:

f(x)_0 = 1
f(x)_n = f(x)_(n-1) + f(x)_(n-1)/2 <=>
3/2 * f(x)_(n-1)

In general we have that f(x)_n = (3/2)^n. In the limit the game is infinitely expensive.

>>687870221
you should have used a declarative language

I know that it's a bait, but real answer 2.

It can't be anything else because if you had some other number than 2 it would not make final price the same.

Let's take 1,5 for an example: half of the 1,5 is 0,75. 1+0,75 = 1,75, not 1,5 that would be required.

Now let's take 1 for an example: half of 1 is 0,5. 1 + 0,5 = 1,5, not 1 that would be required.

Now same with 2. Half of 2 is 1. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 can be divided to 1.

Now this has been written so that even dullest knife could get it.

Cost is X/2 + 1

$2 + X = 2X

$2 = 2X - X

The problem here is that the question is worded poorly.

> The game costs $1, plus half of it's price.

You have two halves in this sentence that don't work together.

> The game costs $1

That is a statement. The game is one dollar. We could answer the question there, since we have an answer, except it goes on to say

> plus half of it's price.

Now this is a conundrum because half of which price? The price you provided? Or the price of the game after you have added the 50% to it? We don't know, so let's solve for both.

> The game costs $1

x = 1

> Plus half of it's price

Half of $1 is .50, so x = 1 + .50
Therefore the game is 1.50

Alternatively, you could read it as an entire phrase;

> The game costs $1 plus half of it's price

Meaning that whatever the price is, (x in this case) x = 1 + .5x Then we simply need to solve for x.

2 = 1 + .5(2)

So in this case, our answer is 2. There is however, a third interpretation of the question, which makes the answer unsolvable. What is $1 is the final price, until you add the .5x to the dollar, and then you have your cost, until you run it through the formula again (since the question does say plus half it's price, and the new price is now 1.50). Now you've got 1.75, except now you have to run it through the formula again, since the game is $1 plus half it's price, and this would go on forever, of course. Obviously that isn't truely an answer but it is something to consider, since the image is too unclear to ascertain what exactly the intention was.

Actually, the intention was to troll everyone. And everyone took the bait, including me. GG OP well played.

Post this to facebook faggot. There's no right answer. "half it's cost" isn't a value, it's unsolvable.

>>687873085
there was no coma in the original question idiot

>>687872994
You're the dumb one. Cost and price can't be represented by the same variable. Youre solving a different equation.

>>687872852
The total price of the game (represented by "x") is equal to $1 plus half the price of the total price (still represented by "x").

$1 plus half the price (0.5x) is equal to the total price of the game, "x".

1 + 0.5x = x

Isolate the variable.

1 = 0.5x

Divide by 0.5 in order to solve for X

2 = x

>>687873272
