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

1 = x/2

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

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
>>687863037

FUCKING RETARDS
$1 + Half The Price
$1 + $X/2 = X
simple fucking maths. a monkey from a vietnamese zoo could solve such a simple equation.
$2 + X = 2X
$2 = 2X - X
$2 = 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
are you so fucking dense.

idiot. That's a discount. This is a maths question from an elementary algebra level textbook.
Also, what kind of backwater country has price tags that aren't the actual cost of the items?
In my country, price tags reflect the cost. Discounts included in yellow tags.
But if you insist that as the scenario, the question needs to be phrased as "1 plus half the ORIGINAL price". That way the trve price is differentiated from the original price.
if a girl asks, it's a blowjob. it always is.
>>687863037
the average game costs billions of doallars to produce. so im guessing 8,000,000,001.00
$2.25
>>687865850
That's great and all but irrelevant.
There is no variable.
The game either costs $1 plus half it's price of $1 as markup. Which is a buck $1.50.
or
The price isn't $1 and it's unsolvable because there is no real price. Because it becomes X +1 + X/2 = Y where you plug in any number you want for X to generate Y or any number for Y to generate X.

>>687875437
where in the world did you get that it costs $1?
>>687863887
This, but:
y = 1 + 0.5x
The question is open ended and leaves 2 possible, correct answers.
Answer number one is:
Game costs amount of money that's answer of following equation in where 1=Y and final price = X.
Y + 0,5 x X = X . In this case answer is 2
Second correct answer is that the games price is 1,5$. This comes from Y + 0,5 x Y = X
Let's assume the price is 1$, then you need to add $0.50 to get the price. But then the price is $1.50, and you need to add $0.75. So you would keep on multiplying by 1.5 forever, since the price is always rising. This doesn't work. Let's all move on.
>>687874996
>But if you insist that as the scenario, the question needs to be phrased as "1 plus half the ORIGINAL price". That way the trve price is differentiated from the original price.
Absolutely not. What the question needs to do if you guys want to claim to me right is not use both cost and price together. Prove that Cost = price. Until you can do that you can't replace one with the other
>>687875153

It's infinitely expensive.
1 dollar, plus half its price. Well the price would be 1.50. But since you added half it would be 2.25. Then plus half of that. And on and on into infinity

If cost is $1 and the general profit margin is 33% then retail price is $1.50. Half of 1.50 is .75 cents so .75 plus $1 is $1.75.

the game costs the game's cost plus half the games cost; therefore, it now equals 3. then 3+3/2 then 3+3/2+(3+3/2)/2 and so on and so forth, the very nature of the question makes it unanswerable. there is no solution.

You cannot solve the question.
This is similar along the lines of: 1 + x = y
You don't know the game's price so that value you add onto the $1 is unknown.
you have 1$+ 0,5x =x
because the game(x) costs 1$ plus half its price (0,5x).
the only number that can be used here is 2 to get a true answer.
1+2/2=2
>>687879798
you do know the games price, its 1$ plus half its price
that means you have 1$ plus 0.5 x =x
now you just test some numbers until you find one that fits, the one number that fits is 2
1 plus 2 times 0.5 equals 2
>solved like a pleb
x=x+1/2x
(simplify)
x=3/2x
(-x from both sides)

idiot.
>>687880381
>x = x + (1/2)x
>why?
"A game costs $1 plus half it is price." HALF IT IS PRICE
PRICE = HALF = 1/2 = $.50
>>687880523
in that case you can't use 1 in your equation as it's price, because it is no longer equal to 1.
The game now costs two dollars and your new equation is x=2+1/2x
>>687880381
0 is the only solution that works
>>687863037
it's infinite you dumbasses
"a game costs 1 plus half it's price"
so if it's one, than half of one is .50. So the price is now 1.50. Half of that is .75. Add that to 1.50 you get 2.25. It increases exponentially. Fucking shits-for-brains.
>>687880882
lolwut
>>687880788
nice dubs.
because the equation is (price)=(price)=+1/2(price)
they are putting 1 in only one of the x values. Which is incorrect.
>>687863037
x = .5(x) + 1
x-(.5x) = $1
.5x = $1
X = $2
X is $2 because the price is not $1 the original price is half the cost + $1.
Half of 2 is 1. 1 plus 1 is 2.
>>687880927
no, x is still equal to 2 and it's still $1 plus half the prize, so plus 1. 1 + 1 = 2. You can repeat it a bunch of times, it will always be 2.
>>687881165
the 1 is a red herring
>>687880927
But I didn't say it was equal to 1, rather it was equal to 1 + 1/2x?
>>687881135
> so if it's one.
It isn't, it's 2.
The cost of a game is its price, so I guess the answer is $2
Let x = price/cost of the game (these terms are interchangable)
x = 1 + .5x
.5x = 1
x = 2
>>687863037
>>687880927
If x = 0
0= 1 +.5(0)
0 = 1 retard
>>687881585
>half of 2 is 1
>2+1=3
>half of 3 is 1.5
>1.5+2=3.5
even starting at 2 it's infinite.
>>687881165
It's not (price)=(price) + 1/2(price)
It's (price)= 1 + 1/2(price)

Saw this a while ago. The problem is worded in a deliberately vague manner, therefore I would refuse to acknowledge it.
>>687881827
>half of 2 is 1
>1 + 1 = 2
where's the problem?
you did price = 1 + price, not price = 1 + .5*price
>>687882249
It's an increasing number. It's always one plus half the cost, and the costs increases when you add half the cost to it. And then the half increases.
>>687881865
>>687881714
>>687881483
it cant be 1 dollar and 2 dollars at the same time. logically you have to accept the fact that either, A the question is a paradox that makes no sense, or B that it is all variables and they have to equal 0
It's alright if you don't understand this. It is really more of a logical puzzle than algebra.
>>687881714
>if x = 0
you can't just set x as what you like, we want to determine x.
X = GAME COST
1 + X/2 = X
X + 1 + X/2 = 0
2X + 2 + X = 0
3X = 2
X = 2/3 = 0.666...

nope. It works with 2.

>>687882424
I know it's a paradox, but nowhere in my price does it say price = 1?
>>687863037
game costs $x
x= 1+0.5x
x-0.5x=1+0.5x-0.5x
0.5x=1
(0.5x)/0.5=1/0.5
x=2
costs $2
Price = 1 + Price
1 + Price = Price
Solved!
>>687863037
this is retarded,
there is no answer that would be the only answer.
$4 price = ($1 + $2) $3 cost
$2 price = ($1 + $1) $2 cost
$9 price = ($1 + $4.50) $5.50 cost

it's not, it's just 2.
>logically you have to accept the fact that either, A the question is a paradox that makes no sense, or B that it is all variables and they have to equal 0
nope, you can solve it algebraicly as a lot of people have done it above (with x = 1 + .5x as start equation). the result is x = 2.
>>687882416
1 + .5(×) = x
1 + .5(2) = x
1 + 1 = x
2 = x
1 + .5(2) = x
1 + 1 = x
2 = x

>>687863037
>A game costs $1
>plus half its price
Obviously what OP is saying is that the game costs $1, but EB Games (Gamestop) is selling it for $1 + half its price, aka $1.5
>>687882249
>>687882416
Actually 2 is the answer. If 2 is the cost, half the cost is 1.
1 + 1 = 2
>>687882551
why X + 1 + X/2 = 0 ?
stupid or bait ?
>>687882551
first step is false, it would be
> -x +1 + x/2 = 0
> 1 - x/2 = 0
> 1 = x/2
> x = 2
>>687883102
why do you add 1?
shouldnt it be x +.5x=x ?
>>687866596

A game costs $1 plus half its price, the answer is in the question retards.
>>687883355
oh nvm reread question
>>687882961
>Price = 1 + Price
nope, price = 1 + .5*price
>>687863037
cost != price faggots
It's 2 you fucking tards
x = price of game
1 + 0.5x = x
1 = 0.5x
x = 2

this is just half the sentence. the game costs $1 plus half it's price. That means the $1 has to be the other half. therefore the price is $2.
>>687884014
This is always the best thread
Are you guys stupid? A game costs 1 dollar plus half its price. If the price is 10 dollar the cost is 6. If its price is 20 itll cost 11. Theres no right answer
>>687863037
"it's" only works when using "it is" or "it has". Whoever made this .jpg is fucking retarded.
holy fuck, you guys are reading it wrong.
its not "the game costs $1 now add half of that"
its "half the price now add $1"
the game never costs 1 dollar
think of it this way:
A game costs (half of its price plus $1)
it's not stating its price when it says "a game costs $1" its starting the problem. the issue is that its a grammatical error. it should have a ":" after the word "costs"
>>687884056
Stop giving yourself to trolls you hungry fish
>>687883355
no, it's $1 plus half its price, therfore x = 1 + .5x

The game is 1 dollar
>>687883656
No,
y = cost
x = price
y = 0.5x + 1

you can't take half of an undefined value
It's $2. Anyone disagreeing is wrong. Anyone bothering to respond to those who failed basic maths is wasting their time and/or being trolled
>>687883875
why the fuck?
>>687884143
I've told them that. They think cost = price. They have no reason to other than a poor grasp of language and that the words are loosely interchangeable. Don't expect anything approximating rigor to come from the denizens of idiocy and cocksureness
>>687884538

cost = 0.5 × price + 1

Wow.. it's only $1 plus half the price. That's your answer...
>>687884776
I am math debater
>>687863887
Yeah but work it with x = 3 the statement is also true. So therefore it's undefined.
>>687863037
Let x be the price of the game
x = 1 + .5x
.5x = 1
x = 2
The game costs 2 dollars
It's $42. The answer to life, the universe, and obviously this thread.
>>687863037
Alright let's really solve this:
First things first, you're asking about the price of a game. You're on 4chan. You're on the internet. Therefore you must be a retard, and thus the game must be AAA.
Therefore, the price is $60.
But now you say the game is "$1 plus half its price", and ask me how much it costs.
So with this I'm assuming you're a magical price fairy, and somehow you've now changed the price to reflect this statement, and only by accident forgot to write "plus half its ORIGINAL price"
At this point, the game must cost $1 + $60/2, or $31.
But this only works if you don't speak retard.
And I'm afraid you do :(
>>687883934
I fucking just solved it you retards LOOOOK!
>>687884202

>>687885955
No, with x = 3 it's:
>3 = 1 + 1.5
>3 = 2.5
doesn't work
>>687885522
OH NOW I SEE, OP meant to say that the game costs $1, and half of it is price. THE OTHER HALF IS TAX! THE COST IS $1! AND THE TAXES HAVE GONE THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF!
1 + 0.5x = x
1 = x - 0.5x
0.5x = x - 1
x = (x - 1)/0.5
x = (x/0.5) - 2
2 + x = x/0.5
2*0.5 + 0.5x = x
1 + 0.5x = x
:D
>>687886075
or with price = $2
>>687886481
HOLYSHIT!!
1 + x/2 = x
2 + x = 2x
X - 2x = -2
-x =- 2
X= 2

Cost and price haven't been shown to be equal. Until they have been shown to be equal you can't use the same variable to represent them.
tl;dr: you're changing the equation. Hope that's not too fine a point.
