It costs $1 because I am went somewhere else and paid what it was worth instead of supporting these fucking jews
>>679397140
Correct.
>>679396607
That's either a paradox or it would be $1.50 if the added half is tax and not original price.
How much does pirate bay charge again? Oh, right.

That doesn't make sense; it's an infinite loop.
1 +
½(1) +
½(½(1)) +
½(½(½(1))) +
[...]
So, it costs infinitely much at a small exponentially-growing rate.
OR
it costs $1 + ½($59.99) = $1 + $29.99, so $30.99
[assuming average release cost of a PS4 game; rounding down on half]
This question is too vague...
>>679397140
How did you cancel the X out in the second step
>>679397468
fuck I feel so stupid
the game costs $1
add to that half of the price (half of $1)
so $1.50

Not enough information. You need to know the full price so you can know the half price.. once you have the half price, simply add 1. (1+half its price)
>>679396607
$2 minus half of the value of (1USD / 1USD) plus (0.39CAD in USD / 1USD)

How did you even get the "=x" nigger
Its PRICE isn't $1, dumbasses.
Its PRICE is the value we're trying to figure out.
$1.50 != "$1 + Half of $1.50"
The game is $2. That is "$1 plus half the price ($2)." 1 + 1 = 2. Leave it to B to fuck that up.
Also, THE GAME.
>>679398829
if the full price was $10, then the price would be $(5+1) which would be $6. But then the price wouldn't be $10 any more, it would be $6. The only price point at which it's stable is $2.
>>679397258
best post thus far
we cannot know.
most people fall for the mathematical explanation. only this is a linguistics problem. cost and price are not the same. we don't know the price.
>>679396607
You can use algebra, or realize that you're adding 1 to one other number... and that the other number is half the price... and that you're adding two things together.
>>679399017
I am solving an equality and it ain't a damn function, honkey. I got the x through math, look it up some time.
Cost=1+ price/2
Given cost does not equal price
So
2(Cost -1)=price
Example
If cost=3 then
2(3-1)=price=4
Either that or
Price equals cost ,in Wich case.
Cost=1+cost/2
2cost = 2+cost.
So cost = price = 2

>>679396607
This can't be solved. If the price is 1 plus half the price, it would loop to infinity because the half price part would compound on itself like the edges of a fractal

Wrong.
There's only 1 real number that can complete the equation 1 + 0.5x = x.
The question has all the necessary information. You're thinking it's an x y problem, in which you need to know one to calculate the other. The ONLY variable in this equation is x. It is simple to solve and has only one answer.

What are you talking about? There's only one solution to the equation 1 + 0.5x = x. There's only one variable and it's totally solvable.
This is literally 9th grade level algebra, how are you not getting this?
>>679399520
Let's say y = starting price
Then we also need another variable for the actually price so let's say x = actual price
so x=y/2+1
We don't have the starting price we can't solve the equation

It's quite easy, just read this book. Oh wait, shit. Uh, not sure how to help.
do you mean to say that the price, is 1 dollar, only when halved as a trick question. are we reading it wrong, is the answer 2 dollar or do you all have brain cancer? the answer is either 1.50, or 2. either way, kill yourselves.

>>679400235
The letter x is a variable. It represents an unknown value. By manipulating the equation to equal x, we can determine its value. In this example, x represents the price of the game in dollars.
>>679400113

>>679399520
You are making the inaccurate assumption that price and cost are the same thing. The price of a car is 2,999$ Is that how much it will cost you?
>>679400477
Let Y = the COST of the game.
17.83
>>679399520
>>679397792
Cost of the game = Payment required to purchase
Price of the game = Payment required to purchase.
Cost == Price TRUE;
Unless we are counting in tax in the cost... but that is not specified in the equation.
Cost is also being USED as a verb for price in the context.
A game costs $1 + ½(price)
cost = expenditure to acquire the content, tax implicitly ignored.
Cost == price
What is cost. Let's substitute:
Price = $1 + ½(Price)
Price, therefore, recursively calls itself until there's no more memory, because it will keep halving itself.
>>679396607
So does it cost a dollar to make the game or is the game sold for a dollar?
x = 1 + x/2
x - 1 = x/2

No, since price was undefined in the first place, and it requires a function to find, we must first find price in order to calculate the value for the function to return.
>>679401357

It was defined in the first place, and that definition is 2
y = cost
x = price
y=x/2+1

>>679399738
I think the real argument is what the equation to solve the problem is.
On one side we have x = 1 + .5x
I think a more accurate equation that represents the linguistic nuances of the word problem would look more like: C = 1+ .5P where C=cost and P=price.

IT'S
It's is a contraction for it is or it has.
Examples:
It's = It is
"It's my bedtime."
"It's time to go."
"It's only 11 o'clock."
"It's over there."
It's = It has (not possessive)
"It's been a long time."
"It's been brewing awhile."
"It's got to happen soon."
>>679401992
false
>>679397468
ITS
Its indicates possessive.
Or, put a more technical way, its is the possessive form of the neuter pronoun "it" — his, her, its.
Examples:
Its possessive
"Every dog has its day."
"The jury has reached its decision."
"Stop its momentum!"
"Guess its color."
A Good Rule of Thumb:
If you can replace it with his or her, there's no apostrophe.

>>679398071
Well it is 2.
half of two is 1.
The game costs $1 + half of its price.
$1 + $1 = 2
It's $2. The great thing about math problems is you can test it.
There is only one dollar amount that you can devide by 2, add $1 to to get the same dollar amount you started with... and that amount is $2.
(×÷2)+1 = ×
($2÷2)+$1 = $2
$1+$1 = $2
$2 = $2
You can't answer this question because you are missing a variable.
'A game costs 1 dollar plus half it's price'
What is the game's initial price?
Assuming the game is 1 dollar, it would cost $1.50 plus tax.

The price is $1 plus half of the price. Just add numbers to it until you get to that number.
Start with $1 plus half of its price, $0.50. But then half that price is now 25 cents higher. Doing this from 1-50 gives you 1275 cents.
So you have $13.75?

we don't know what its price is because the price is the result of an equation.
we could say it costs $1 and then an addition .5*1 so then it would be 1.50
but then again it is saying that the cost =cost+cost*.5 but we don't know the cost so it is unanswerable

>>679408388
$1.00 (the cost of the game) plus half it's price, which would be $0.50.

>>679411393
i don't see it. if any answer is able to be extracted it would be 1.5 because it plainly says the cost is $1. so then, if the ultimate cost is the initial cost of $1 plus half of that cost then it is 1.5.
how can 2 be derived? don't see it. maybe i am not so mathematical but i'd rather go with my answer because it is cheaper. and anyone that wants to pay more is an idiot.

>>679411742
>But it doesn't cost one dollar, it costs one dollar + half its price.
i see what you mean but then it is unanswerable. because it already says the cost is $1. so then the final cost is $1 plus 1/2 the cost so it must be .5, which is half of one. otherwise it is meaningless. the cost was already established at $1 and then afterward you add half of that.
so if you want to go further you can say it is 1 plus .5 = 1.5 and then furthermore at .75 so it would be $2.25 but then you'd have to go on an inifnite look and keep adding .5 times that final cost. you'd be paying endlessly.
so then the end result is that a smarter person pays 1.5 and an idiot tries to overthink it. the idiot pays more. unless you are the one selling the game but then again no one would want to buy from you.
$1.59
>>679396607
>[price of game] + 0.5[price of game] + $1
>>679412629
The cost is as never one dollar. The full statement is "1$ + half the price". At no point is the cost established as 1$.
I hope you're not trolling because you're putting in s lot of effort into this one.
>>679396607
The game costs $2.
Let the cost be X. We know that:
X = 1 + X/2
>>679413148
yeah but then there is no answer. it is just an equation.
casually we all can agree cost and price are synonyms. so it is $1 plus half of that.
like if you go to a store and there is a tax of 50% then you would say it is $1 and half its price. so then it is 1.50.
that is the most common sense interpretation. but it is just a mind game, i know. the answer is unknowable given the information, which is deliberately vague.
>>679398207
brilliant.
$2.25.
You multiply the price ($1) by 1.5 which equals $1.50. Seeing as the price has changed, you have to repeat the multiplication, otherwise you'd get the result from the wrong price.

or you just do 1.5 and pay even less
$1.50 you piece of shit

>>679413613
explain though. i don't see how you know what x is. how could x be 2?
jesus fuck. your all fucking idiots. the game is a noun, therefore a thing. it is not a value nor a variable. you cannot solve for a thing like that, because it is not a variable.
>>679414305
basic economics? if you go to a store and someone tells you the game price is $1 plus half its price wouldn't the most common sense answer for you, the buyer, be $1.5?
>>679396607
30.99$ faggot.

×=1+x/2
1/2 of 1
.50
.50×(2)=1
1+1 =2
×=2
>>679414058
>>679414249
half of 1.5 is 0.75, and 0.75+1=1.75
so, no.
>>679404833
thank god someone finally said it.
$1 cost plus 50 cents commision to grease the wheels.
>>679396607
a game costs $1 plus half its price
How much does it cost?
$1 plus half its price. = cost
It's not fucking hard.
>>679415206
More of an english queston lol
>>679414878
i totally disagree. because by that logic why stop there? then you are establihing the price is 2.25 so furthermore it is 3.38 and since that is the cost then you have to repeat the equation. that doesn't make any sense. then the game has no cost.
>>679407679
this you dumb fucks

not seeing it
$19.95
Holy shit /b/ should probably go back to fucking algebra
>>679415576
i agree, not enough info. that is, if you want to make an algebraic equation out of it.
>>679396607
>cost=price
OP do you even attempt to understand basic economics?
>>679415363
That's why it doesn't make sense to keep multiplying forever. In that case, the question would have no answer at all, so the only possible answer is 2.25.
>>679397140
X=1+x/2
2x=2+x
X=2
x = 1 + (x/2) :*2
2x = 2 + x :-x
x = 2
>>679396607
Ah yes. Half "it is" price. Well done.
>>679397252
Nigga you don't need 2 variables
>>679416082
i'll pay 1.5 thank you good day sir pleasure doing business.
>>679416138
>>679416214
why do people keep saying this? it means nothing.
IT COSTS $1.84
OP IS RETARD.
>>679409634
No, but it should be x=1+x/2 though, sine the game costs 1 dollar plus half of IT'S price, x costs 1 dollar plus half of x price.
Therefor x is 2
X=1+X/2
X-1=X/2
2-1=2/2
X=2
>>679396607
2 dollars?
1 + (.5)price = price.
1 = .5price.
2 = price.
/b/ is retarded.
>>679416511
meaningless. what is this a meme? that means nothing.
>>679397140
Y equals new game cost
X equals original cost
Y= x/2+1.
>inb4 bait
I just like math
>>679413764
Thats wrong faggot
>>679416993
let me guess, the answer is "2" pfff
>>679410136
9-81+9
=81
Well mathed faggot
To sum this whole post, you don't know what the price is, IT'S not listed, therefore not enough info.
$5 with sales tax
>>679396607
The answer isn't a number dumbasses. It's an equation.
Y=x/2+1. Where x equals original price and y equals new price.
You literally just plug in numbers.
31=60÷2+1
>>679396607
you fucking idiots enough toying around.
either 1$ plus 50% = $1.50c
or
its quantum and therefore infinite.
gg wp fq
>>679396607
The price of the game it's equal to its cost.
So
x=y
x=y/2+1
x=x/2+1
x=2
Idiots.
>>679417894
how the fuk does x=2?
>>679397258
/thread
>>679417894
its plus 50% not plus 100%
fuck paying for apps and games
>>679418118
Math.
x=x/2+1
x-1=x/2
2(x-1)/2=x/2
2(x-1)=x
2x-2=x
2x=x+2
2x-x=2
x=2
I say again, idiots.
>>679396607
then again, whats half of 1.50$ x+y=1.50 +50% only other variable
>>679417493
where you were asked to identify the price? you're better than this.
>>679396607
Let P=Game and assume the cost is $1
The price of the game exists as a superposition between 0-2 dollars, if one were to observe the game, the price could not be observed. If the price were observed, the game could not be observed, therefor you would not know certainly that the price applies to the game in question.
>>679419092
i still think im right its 1.50 or infinte
>>679396607
Define "costs" because if a game costs $1, that's it's price. Regardless of any equations
x is the cost of the game
x = 1 + x/2
x - x/2 = 1
2x/2 - x/2 = 1
(2x - x)/2 = 1
x/2 = 1
2(x/2) = 2(1)
x = 2
