Zero.Actually it's really zero because I can just cutepost on steam threads.
Does the game cost 1$ or is 1$ the original price and its final is original plus 1/2 original?
>>26994035
.5X+1=x
1=.5X
2=X
X = 1 + 0.5x
0.5x = 1
X = 2

Why are NEET fags so retarded? How could it possible be $1.50?
>>26994035
Price of game: $1 + 50% of $1
Price: 1+(1/2)= $1.50
NEETS btfo
>>26994035
Infinity, x=1+x/2
x/2=1
x=2
So it's price is now two dollars which means you have to add half it's price which is 1 dollar. This then repeats for all of eternity
>>26994035
>half it's price
>half it is price
>>26994124
post you're waifupost it
>All these idiots with their $2
Half of 1 is 0.5
0.5+1 = $1.50
Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot.
>>26994124
that's why the answer 1 is correct
>>26994035
1 dollar + 0.5 (half of the price) = 1.50
I don't get this trick
Is it recursive, if yes it is $2 as 1+1/2+1/4... = 2
The question is worded strangely, It is either $1 or $1.50
Also

Approximately 2.67 or something like that. Forgot what e is.
>>26994035
Doesn't that question go on forever, though? If you take it to $1.50, then that's the price. Now you got to add another half bringing it up to $2.25. But now that's the price so you gotta add another half.
>>26994035
Does all the people saying it's not $2 prove that NEETs are the most uneducated people in the world despite having all the time in the world to learn?
>>26994035
You're doing it wrong faggot. Test this first.
>>26994160
$1 is not its price. Why do so many robots fail at grade school tier reading comprehension?

If you conflate cost and price:
>>26994221
Some calculus bullshit about natural limits.
>>26994202
>>26994228
a = price of game
1 + a/2 = a (multiply everything by 2)
2 + a = 2a (rearrange so that the a's are on one side)
2 = a
Ofcourse the question is worded in such a way as to imply it's infinite. But I'm choosing not to do so in this case as the problem is already hard enough to BTFO most FB grannies.

The dollar isn't the game's price you idiots.
x=1+0.5x
0.5x=1
x=2
Only answer.
>>26994316
No. The game costs $1. Then add half of its price. $1+$0.50=$1.50. That's what the question asked.
>>26994594
>A game costs 1$ plus half it's price. How much does it cost?
>a game costs 1$
1
>plus half it's price
half of 1 = .50
so 1 + .50 = $1.50
The only way you could get 2 is if you go out of order.
>>26994650
No, the price is the dollar plus half of the game's price.
>>26994035
infinity. desu
>>26994682
The dollar isn't the games price, the picture stated that the game costs a dollar plus half the game's price.
$0.50. It's saying it costs $1.00 when half its price is added.
>>26994495

>>26994769
It took me approximately 3 minutes to realize how retarded what I just said is.
its worded poorly on purpose you fucking retards, stop arguing about it.
>>26994799
Because that would be wrong. For the (1+4) to be in the denominator the question would have to be posed like "6/2/(1+2)". It's not equivalent to the given expression
X = price
X = 1 + x/2
X/2 = 1
X = 2
>>26994799
>anime posters are stupid as shit.
Who would have guessed?

2+price = 2price
price =0 since i didn't fucking pay for it you dweebs
>>26994035
It costs $1.50
You'd have to be retarded not to know that
This isn't a pure maths question, because you have to draw some conclusions.
Firstly the use of its
and, secondly the cost of the game.
Game cost unknown = no right answer
Its could be the dollar + half, or the cost of the game + half.
Basically, the question is worded in such a way to be as vague as possible, while still trying to pose a question that's answerable.

>A game costs 1$ plus half its price. How much does it cost?
It's not 1.50 , saying so would be contradicting because the question is asking you to solve for the value of the game, yet your are the taking the value of the game as 1$ and then saying is 1.50$. If the value of the game is 1$ it cannot be 1.50 at the same time because in this case, the game cannot have two values. That is the reason why it is 2 and not 1.
>>26994035
>It is price
>A game costs $1 plus half it is price.
Maybe you should have studied grammar instead of math OP.
1+x/2
All other answers are wrong.
>>26995494
Or if you have x
1+x/2=y
X/2=Y+1
X=2y+2
>>26995463
I think you're just retarded.
>>26994035
Oh you sneaky breeki. It's is not implied that the game is $1, so math is involved. It's $1 plus half of whatever the price of the game is.
Today we learned something
>implying
Is bad
>>26994035
its common for those with autism to overreact to minor incidents.
if you said anything besides $1.50 you are on the spectrum. all things constant- what do you think they intended to say here? social norms would imply $1.50 because they're not going to say "you owe me x=1+x/2 dollars which is infinity".
enjoy your flared autism. bye bye.
>>26995712
lul do you even stem bro
This is not a math problem, it's a grammar problem.
It's impossible to know if "half of its price" is a part of the price, if it was $1 + $0.5 then the price of the game would be $1.50, thus having to add .75 instead, so it's a trick question.
>>26995668
implying is a social norm, if you're bad at it you're not normal- you're less than normal. how do you not get this?
>>26995537
You are severly retarded. There is a single variable x
X=1/2x +1
>>26995668
It can be implied that the game's initial price is $1 since if the image was supposed to unambiguously mean "price = 1 + price/2", it would've said $1 plus half of its total price.
$1.50
>Game costs $1
>Plus half it's price

what is x

Cost=How much the company paid for the game
Price=How much the customer pays when they purchase the game.
If we don't know the price, then we can't determine the cost.

its $1.50
>>BUT IT SAYS...
no- lol no one is going to take your math as payment.
>that'll be x=1+x/2! thank you!
shiggydiggy
>>26995781
This question is a paradox
Price = 1 + price/2
2price = 2 + price
2price - price = 2
Price = 2
x = 1 + 0.5x
x - 0.5x = 1 + 0.5x - 0.5x
0.5x = 1
x = 1/0.5
x = 2
$2.00 is the answer.
>>26995757
logic gives this answer, mathematics gives 2.
end
>>26995988
x - 0.5x = 1 + 0.5x - 0.5x
0.5x = 1
where'd your other X go? lol you retard
>>26994035
The answer is 1 dollar.
It's a fact
>>26996047
1 - 0.5 is 0.5, so 1x - 0.5x equals 0.5x.
This question misuses the concepts of cost and price. It's grammar is pathetic. So, it's impossible to find the right answer, because the question is wrong itself.
>>26996065
1 + 0.5*1 isn't 1 dollar though so your solution is incorrect.
Am I the only person who is getting 0.66 as the original price. So 0.66 recurring add 0.33 recurring is 1 dollar basically if you round it up because
1.5 times it price is 1 so 1/1.5 =2/3=0.66 recurring so the original price is 0.66
The game itself costs .6666666 repeating.
>>26996130
lmao dude you're right but i dont think you have any right to talk shit about other people's grammar
>>26996182
Addition to that question perhaps they mean overall cost is 1 dollar which is gained by adding half the original cost to the original cost
>>26996130
>It's grammar is pathetic
>It's grammar
>It is grammar
>>26996217
Addition two they didn't ask you to work out its future cost by saying how much does it cost now. But asked you to work out its original cost. Or I am dumb
>>26995956
Nope
>$1
>Plus half
>= $1.50
It's simple.
>>26996217
>which is gained by adding half the original cost
They asked you to add half of the price, not the cost.
>>26996217
>>26996249
You're an idiot and this comment is original.
>>26994035
It's a 1.50$ you morons
Holy shit most people in this thread are so retarded they can't even spot the contradiction in their argument.
>THE GAME COSTS $1
>BUT +HALF ITS COST IS $0.50
>SO IT ACTUALLY COSTS $1.50
So what is it, friends? $1 or $1.50? Can't be both. Of course, if you realized that $1 is just HALF the price of the game, you'd unlock the secrets of the universe and realise that it costs $2.
x=1+(1/2)y
y=?
three-hundred trillion, six-hundred seventy-five billion, nine-hundred forty-one million, five-hundred and seven thousand, one-hundred thirty-five shekels
>>26994035
Question is ambiguous therefore it doesn't fucking matter what the answer is. But in real life terms it'd be a 1.50. Because REAL people don't use bullshit mathematic principles.
>>26996326
>>26996313
Let's say a game costs $2. An alternative way of saying it costs $2 is saying it costs $1 plus half of its cost. There you go, retards.
x = 1
y = 1 + (x/2)
y = 1 + (0.50)
y = 1.50
the people saying its $2 are trying to cause a shitstorm
People ITT do realise that this isn't a maths question, right?
>>26996400
There is no ambiguity in the problem as stated.
For the people saying 1.50, you are fucking retarded. You are assuming that half its price is 0.5, meaning you are assuming that $1 is the price. But that is a fucking paradox then
Firstly, You are assuming the answer is 1 (because you take half of that) and then you come up with an answer of 1.50? How?? I thought the answer was 1 since that is what you took the half from??
It's a complete contradiction. Kill yourselves.
The answer is 2
There are two answers.
1. y = 1 + (x/2)
Blah blah
2. Cost and price aren't the same, i.e. something COSTS X to make, but its PRICE is Y on the market.
So, you get: 1 + (x/2), where x is the price -- whatever it may be; it changes each time.
However, no sensible businessperson would price something LOWER than its cost.
>>26994035
1+infinite what do I win
>>26994035
This is basic middle school math.
x = 1 + 0.5x
x - 0.5x = 1
0.5x = 1
x = 2
Really fucking simple.
holy shit
anyone unironically saying $1.50 should immediately gas themself
I was too lazy to calculate it so I searched for an equation solver
https://www.symbolab.com/solver/equation-calculator/g%20%3D%201%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Bg%7D%7B2%7D/?origin=enterkey
the answer is obviously 1.5
>>26997506
the answer there literally says 2
here's your (You)
>>26997569
thank you for kindly pretending to fall into my trap
I didn't get a proper (You) so thank you for providing it for me
If it's supposedly 2 buckaroos, where the fuck do you get that extra full 1 dollaridoo to add instead of 0.50? One dollar plus half IT'S price, as in half of that one dollar. You add that to the price that was given at the start, and you get 1.50.
If you get 2 you're just making empty assumptions that are not based on any given data.
>>26994035
>implying you can tell any of us apart
heh.
The price would keep going up asymptotically forever
because the price of the game is $1 + half its price, the price is the cost not the difference
so basically what you have here is either that or an unsolvable 1 + X = Y
>>26997719
That $1 isn't the price of the game.
>>26994035
cost=1+.5price
we don't know what price is so its unsolvable.
>>26997769
I'm not seeing this
if the game costs 2, it costs 1 + 1 (half its price) which is still consistent with the original statement
It's $31 fucking burger bucks
Not a real math problem, it's a paradox and relies entirely on double entrende. Picture related is the only answer.
free
torrent it.
>>26997829
it doesn't cost $2
OP has been intentionally using questions that are incomplete or don't make sense
it says it costs $1 + 1/2price so it's literally 1 + 1/2X = X
once again, $1 is not the cost of the game
>>26997968
yeah, 1+1/2x=x results in x=2
1$ is not the cost of the game, it's half its cost, like required from the question
rereading the question with the result we get
>a game costs 2$, that is it costs 1$ plus half its price, (2/2$)
>>26998044
oh right, that makes sense
>>26994035
>intentionally phrasing the question poorly to be cunty towards others
X = 1 + 0.5x
X - 0.5x = 1
-0.5x = 1 ||: 0.5
X = 2
The game costs 2$
The question is poorly worded on purpose. The price could be either $1.50 or $2 depending on your interpretation of the English language. It's just something people post on social media to generate more traffic.
The question can't be answered. The number just goes up infinitely because the "price" goes up every time you solve for it. It's $1 plus half its price. Assuming it's $1 (which is wrong because we don't know the price) would mean it costs $1.50. But then you half that it $0.75 because we've found the price to be $1.50 but that then increases how much half is a pushes the price higher. This continues on into infinitey.
tl;dr question is flawed
>>26998234
are you retarded or just don't understand basic equations?
>>26998105
>>26998211
what's the poorly worded part? assuming cost=price I don't see ambiguities

Game cost = $1 + 1/2(price)

you dont know the price of the game. you cant answer the question unless the $1 "cost" is being used interchangeably with "price".
the answer is 1/2*(Price of game) + $1
>>26998310
>>26998234
here it is the expression of the series you're talking about
Jesus, this thread
Right, half of the price of the game plus $1 equals the price of the game. The only way that sentence works is if the price of the game is $2, because half of that is $1 and then you add the other $1.
I doubt it's feasible tbqh.
$31
Unless it's some shitty indie game then like $11.
Now if it's during a Steam sale this is where the math starts to get a little complicated, it has the possibility of being $4 or lower.
>>26995463
Maybe it's my bad english but I still don't get it
>>26998502
you can reason on that
x=1+x/2
if we substitute this to the x on the right
x=1+1/2+x/4
again
x=1+1/2+1/4+x/8
if we do that an infinite amount of times we get
x= sum(1/2^n) + x/infinity
the first term does 2, the second goes to 0
thank you mathfag for the different perspectives
its a 1.50$
its like saying the game costs 1$ plus tax
but instead of saying tax its saying exactly how much more you need to add.
>>26998861
It's NOT saying the game is $1 though! It's saying it's 1$, plus half of its price. You're adding two equal halves.
The answer is two, though.
It's 1$ because I'm not signing up for that premium season pass prestige or whatever they call it to get all the DLC.
>>26998675
ah I wish my high school taught this level of maths, I get the point though.
