it's not $1.50 retards
>>708025528
What is it then OP?... If you don't answer, you are the biggest retard the board have ever seen.
>>708025528
$1.75
>>708025528
it costs $1 plus whatever the fuck the price of the given game is.
>>708025528
kys
$2
>>708025528
$2.28
>>708025528
the question itself is invalid
>>708025528
$2
2=(2/1)+1
cost = 1 + (cost/2)
2 = 1 + 1
three fiddy
about tree fiddy
1+(x/2)
>>708025528
fuck off with your dumb ass math you fucking hicc
>>708025528
about tree fiddy
It doesn't cost if I don't buy it or chingale it with my hands and do a three sixty to walk away. Fifty fifty if you do the coin flipping homework and not a third because heads-tails and tails-heads are the same shit that's fucking dumb
three bucks, tards.
Hopefully not as much as some grammar lessons you stupid fucking bastard "it's" - learn the language you mongoloid fuck
Not solvable. Game price is 1 dollar at start. Half a dollar is half the price. Therefor 1.50. But now the game price has changed and half the price is 75 cents, making the overall price 1.75. Now it changed again aaaaand so on. 87.5 cents etc.
>>708025528
we dont know the price. but it costs $1
>>708025528
Question is worded weird. Could easily mean that if a game costs $20, it now costs $1 + $10 which equals $11.
if $1 is the total price, then it would be $0.66. Because $0.66 + $0.33 = near enough $1
Either that or it's just $1, as you've already said it costs $1.00
>>708025811
This
>>708026603
no it says 1$ plus half the game cost.
Still not solvable but it's simply a 50$ game would be 25+1 and 30$ game would be 15+1
$59.99
>>708025865
/thread
>>708025528
1 + x/2 = x
x = 2
>>708025528
half it is price => half = price
>>708025528
The question doesn't work you retards. It's like saying a game costs $1 plus a random number. We don't know the variable, it is unsolvable
$2 = $1 + ($2 / 2 )
>>708026767
You are right. Missunderstood the question i guess.
>>708027105
No it is $2 you fucking retarded. 1 + 2/2 = $2
You retards are all assuming that cost = price in wording and value. Trick question.
Price = cost
Price equals one dollar plus half of its price
"How much does that thing cost?"
=
"What's the price of that thing?"
it costs 1/2x + $1
If x is the price of the game ( the end price)
x= 1+(x/2) /*2
2x=2+x /-x
x=2
>>708025988
>>708026893
>>708027147
>>708027463
The equation would be:
1 + 2/x = y
Retarded shit
>>708025528
If you take any example amount and treat it as an infinite series of inputting it into the equation, taking the result, and putting it back into the equation, all numbers converge at $2
>>708025988
(2/1)+1 = 3
Nice one fag
Its $2
>>708027808
bigger retard.
Y in your case is the cost of the game, right?
So what is x? right, the cost of the game..
same fucking variable, learn to math
>>708026767
>>708026603
Easily solvable.
$2
Half of $2 (The cost of the game) is $1
Plus the known quantity of $1
You come back to $2
The answer is $2
>>708027808
Thanks for not being a retard anon
>>708027808
No it would be 1 + x/2 = x. Solve for x and you get 2. Holy shit has everyone forgotten basic math?
>>708026642
No, because that would mean changing a constant. The game costs $2 which is half of the cost ($1) plus $1
Literally the only answer that can be correctly given to that question
>>708027463
Why the plus 2 ?
$1.50 easy.
>>708028024
>>708028105
It can't be 1 + x/2 = x
U get 2$ = 2$ Idiots. Thats just a true statement and not a solution of a variable.
Y=new price
X=old price
Y=.5x+1
ez, cost of the book is x
>>708028484
Nice troll m8
>>708025528
it has to be 2 because if you pick some random nr like 48 you get
TOTAL = 1 + 24 = 25
makes no sense
but when you use 2, its
1 + 1 = 2
so it works
>>708028054
Why do you think the game costs 2 bucks ?
Where does it say that ?
>>708028336
The question is 1 + x/2 = x where x is the price of the game. The answer is 2
>>708025528
This stupid shit again...
p = price
c = cost
(p / 2) + 1 = c
More information required to solve for 'c'.
>>708028484
GG
Well, if x = 1 + 0.5x, then x = 2. Ez.
>>708028846
Your right i did the math
>>708028868
P = C
>>708028868
Your just playing semantics at this point you retard. In this question price and cost are the same thing. What do you want it to say. A games price is $1 plus half its price? It would still be $2 faggot
>>708028808
Because you are solving for X (The cost of the game)
1 + (x/2) = x
And the only thing that could possibly make the OP's statement true would be if X=2
>>708025528
Bout 3.50
>>708029179
that's just an assumption you made
price does not necessarily = cost
>>708029248
Its this
everything else is false
>>708029242
It's not semantics. You're making an assumption. Unless the problem specifically states that price = cost, there's no reason to assume that is a true statement.
>>708029338
Your right everyone forgot tax
The cost is 2 + vat
>>708029248
what the fuck is wrong with your brain?
>>708029534
there is no fucking mentioning of the word 'cost' as noun faggot. It's used as a verb.
Or do you want to say a game prizes 1 dollar...?
>>708029248
So let's just say for fun x = 999.
Then your equation is going to be
1 + (999/2) = x
So, x can be anything and still be true.
We can't solve this, since:
Y=new price
X=old price
Y=0.5x+1
2 unknown factors...
>>708029762
maybe he's got owtisum
Every single retard and retard-plus arguing about grade school algebra in this thread needs to be banned from 4chan.
>>708029503
WRONG
There is no more context given. Only thing we CAN do is write the equation.
1 + 0.5x = y
>>708029871
if x = 999
1 + (999/2) != 999
You rtart
>>708029614
yeah sales tax, or another example of price =/= cost is if the game was on sale.
>>708030045
x=y
>>708030064
sorry, you're right. Perhaps it's
1 + (y/2) = x
>>708030140
This guy gets it
>>708030274
$2
$1 + 0.5x = x
0.5x = $1
x = $2
>>708025528
To all the scrubs that think the cost can be anything, they're retarded. The cost can only be $2
cost = x
x=1+0.5x
-0.5x -0.5x
x-0.5x = 1
0.5x = 1
x = 2
>>708029871
it's 1 + (y/2) = x you cocksucker learn basic maths
>>708029534
Do you fucking not know how English works. How any language works? The price and the cost are the same thing. All of the previous words you just read are actually just random words, because I didn't explicitly say what they were. You see how retarded you sound?
Its $1.50 ffs
>>708029871
The price is a constant, not a variable
Do you not know how to convert word problems to equations?
Price is X
If you plug in 999 as X You'd get 1 + 999 = 1 + (999/2) which is false
Your premise does not work.
>>708029831
Settle down, Beavis.
>>708025528
Learn the difference between it's and its before you start calling people retards.
>>708030430
but what is price != cost
what them mr smarty pants
>>708030482
No, since you are using price as both the final solution and what needs to be divided by two
it's 1 + (x/2) = x
not gonna point out that it should be its and not it's
>>708030700>>708030700
Well it looks like you just did, so get outta here.
>>708030495
You are utterly wrong, child. Please calm down.
>>708030495
If price and cost were the same this it would say the price equals 1 the half the price
1 + (p/2) = p
2 + p = 2p
2 = p

It's surprising to hear these words on /b/, it isn't what is used to be..
>>708025528
$30.99
>>708025528
Its not 1.50
If x is the final price
Then
X=1+1/2(x)
If x was 1.50, then
1.50= 1+1/2(1.50)
Subtract 1 both sides
Half of 1.50 is 0.75
0.50=/=0.75
Its 2
2= 1+1/2(2)
2=2
>>708030560
where did the extra 1 + come from, this ain't no chink phone its math
>>708025528
Is it infinite?

>>708030495

Perhaps they just didnt want to use the same word three times and broke out a thesaurus.
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/price
Everyone knows all games cost £55
1 + 55/2 == 55
>>708026015
3,5 lol?
Get off this message board stupid newfah
>>708030647
Price:
The amount of money expected, required, or given in payment for something.
Cost:
an amount that has to be paid or spent to buy or obtain something.
Sounds like the same thing to me.
>hur dur, price is what a consumer has to pay, cost is what the developer has to pay to make it
No. Just, no. That is not the exclusive definition of cost
>>708025528
2!!
>being unable to formulate an equation this simple
x=1+x/2
2x=2+x
x=2
america is doomed
>>708030957
The question clearly states the price is $1 plus half of the price.
>>708025528
Yes it is
Half of $1.00 = $.50
$1.00 + $.50 = $1.50
>it's not $1.50 retards
>>708031059
That not how American works
invalid question
does the "price" mean the original price or after the discounts?
if its after the discounts then its a paradox
and its the original price then the price was never stated so its unsolvable
>>708031162
Google "Southpark Loch Ness monster". Probably aired before your birth. You should check it out
I lost the game.
holy fuck, i didn't come to fucking /b/ to do some middle school math homework
>>708025528
it's a trick question.
your trying to make us solve for x where x is:
x = x + (x/2)
the math will never work to give a real number (the price). a number cannot equal itself plus half itself.
>>708025528
x = 1 + (½x)
unsolvable without more information
repost
http://randomarchive.com/board/b/thread/677134104
>>708031165
So what you are saying is Price != Cost, unless you are developing something
>>708031508
no, x = 1 + (x/2)
so many idiots here
1 + half is 1,5 because half of 1 is 0,5
$1,5
>>708031538
close.
x = x + (x/2)
>>708031059
A thesaurus for math?
Still making assumptions.
>>708025528
1+.5x=x
x=2
>>708031209
the guys equation was 1 + x = 1 + (x/2)
there is an extra one
>>708031365
I'm not talking about cost vs price I'm talking about discounted price vs original price
>>708031538
you sure about that m8
>>708031508
Wow you just fucked it up so bad
>>708031548
no, i'm saying in this case price ≡ cost. (note, i use ≡, not just =) The words are interchangeable here.
>>708031857
But I'm saying cost != price (note, i use !=) Because there not the same word
>>708031707
nothing was said about a discount, why would you assume one exists? That's like answering "how many milliliters in a liter?" with "hmm, that depends how the fish are biting today"
>>708025528
(e^i*theta+3)/2 + 2*sen(theta)^2 + 2*cos(theta)^2 - 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8+ ... + 1/inf = x
>x=2
>>708032085
so simply because they are not the same word, then they ABSOLUTELY don't mean the same thing?
wow dude, you need to learn to english
>>708032109
I think you misunderstand there are 1000ml in a liter
$1.00 + $0.50 = $1.50 + $0.75 = $2.25 +..........
It costs $∞
Or infinite dollars. It must be some Jewish pay to win mobile game.
>>708025528
Game Cost = x
x = 1 + (.5 * x)
or
x = 1 + .5x
so
.5x = 1
answer
x=2
>>708032273
Next you'll be telling me Dogs = Cats, they don't because their different words
>>708031664
cost = cost + (½ * cost)?
You're missing a dollar somewhere
It costs $1
It says it right fucking there
>>708025528
cost = a
price = b
then
a= 1 + b/2
>>708031162
So apparently you're just retarded?
$2, retards
>>708032396
1 * 5 = 5 not 2
>>708025528
The question is nonsense. You're basically saying "A rock weighs 1 pound and 2 pounds. How much does it weigh?"
>>708031273
but its price is not stated to be $1 you dumbshit
>>708025528
$1.25
>>708032429
Next you'll be telling me scared != afraid or moron != dunce, because they're different words
Synonyms dude, look it up
>>708025528
50cents
What if the game is on sale? The price could be listed as $10, on sale for 40% off.
p = price
c = cost
1+(p/2) = c
1+(10/2) = 6
1+(5) = 6
6=6
It's silly to assume that cost and price are the same.
1+.5

you're assuming 1 is the game's price, so half of it will be .5, which is straitgh up retarded.
try x=1+.5x
P/2+1=C
Where P=price and C=cost.
However, the semantics of this problem are questionable, creating a situation where $1.50 would be a correct answer if interpreted a certain way.
