It's not $1.50 retards

it's not $1.50 retards

Half it is price

This is an impossible question, every time you add 50 cents it changes the price, making you add 75 cents and cont to infinity.

$5?

>50% discount
>is 50c
>+50%

If a shop offers a % discount, you don't continually apply it over and over

>half its price

$1

That's what I came to. So the solution would be an inequality...

Deux dollar

Who cares what it cost. I just stole it.

x=1+x/2
x-(x/2)=1
x/2=1
x=2

Let the game's price be X

X = 1 + .5(X)
.5(X) = 1
X = 2
The game is $2

Give it back, Tyrone.

It's free

Math plus dubs checks out

$2.
1 + (2/2)

Hmmm.

0.5P + 100 = P

subtract 0.5 P from both sides

100=0.5P

Multiply both sides by two to find value of P

P=200

The cost of the game is $2.00.

What do I win?

x = 1 + (1/2)x
(1/2)x = 1
x = 2

$2

There is no answer. You tards are deleting an x for no reason. Learn how to math

you win $1.50, unfortunately this is not enough for the game you desire so you kill yourself.

It's a contradictory statement. Two things that can't exist simultaneously are stated in the same sentence.

>The game costs $1
>The game doesn't cost $1

There is no solution.

1+x/2=x
1=x-x/2
1=x/2
x=$2

>Price = Price - 50% +$1

Confirmed one of the kids who used to ask the teacher why they had to learn this math stuff if they'd never use it in real life.

x = (x / 2) + 1
x - 1 = x / 2
2 - 1 = 2 / 2

to every tard claiming the math is wrong

>(The game costs 1 dollar) plus half it's price.
>The game costs (1 dollar plus half it's price).
Learn to English.

This isnt real life, its the intrenet you fucking idiot

Clearly no one has taken a math class past calculus here. One of the basic rules of constructing a proof is do not let one variable represent two things which every proof here violates.

In each proof I have seen some variation of
>x representing final price
>x representing an arbitrary initial price people cleverly equate to a so called "true final price"
The solution everyone has given simply shows a funny way where the initial price can equal the final price. Lets write a true equation

y=1+(1/2)x where x is initial and y is final. This is a true representation of what the question is asking. There is no specified initial price. You can literally fill in any initial price to yield a solution within the constraints of the question.

Fuck this troll math

costs 1 dol
plus half its price (1dol) so half of a dollar is 50 cents
so it costs 1 dollar plus 50 cents
1.50$

you're retarded. Final price = true final price. You're differentiating (not in the mathematical sense) variables for arbitrary reasons

it clearly says "the game costs 1$" thats the initial price

.5 x 1 =1?

Retard

Retard

It's a trick question. The game costs 1$.

Too dorra

2.25$

You're all fucking retards.

Fuark I hate troll math. The answer would be $1.50 if it said "A game initially costs $1" but because that is not there the literal interpretation of the problem at hand means the answer is $2

The question differentiates "cost" and "price.

The answer is "It costs $1, plus half its price". Its price is an ever-increasing paradoxical figure and can't be resolved, but that's not what it's asking for.

$1+1/2=$1.50
$1.50+1/2=$2.25
$2.25+1/2=$3.375

As far as I can tell it goes up forever so there is no "answer "

1+1.125=/=2.25

>paying for video games

The cost of a game is represented as A. The price of a game is represented as B.

A = (1+B*.5)

Since B cannot be defined, A cannot be defined.

Is that the answer you wanted, OP? That there can be no answer? I'll bet not. I'll bet you thought there was some troll bromath that made it a number, like some fuckstain claiming 1 = 2 because look at this bro as fuck inequality that is actually goddamn meaningless.

are you cunts retarded

>$1 + half it's price

Say the game is $2 (which it is)

the game is $1 + 2/2

meaning the game is $1 + $1

which equals $2 you fuckwits

the game costs 1$ + 1/2 the games cost
1/2 G + 1$ = G

its like retardation is contagious

It doesn't go up infinitely, guys
said it.

It's literally meaning less and unsolve able.

Price and cost are not the same thing, so it's not cyclical. This is maths, and in maths "price" and "cost" are ambiguous variables, not dictionary definitions.

Yep. Xeno's Paradox.

infinity dollars?

the heavy amounts of retardation in this thread explain why children are running around on highways because the president they were brainwashed into liking didnt win.

To be fair, they'd all be correct if OP said cost twice or price twice...

>cost of a game
>price of a game
>are you stupid?

a and b are the same thing and you assigned it 2 different variables.

how fucking stupid can you be

The game doesn't cost $1 you retards, it costs $1 + half it's price

Basically, y = 1 + 1/2 y
therefore, y = 2

$1.

this thread shows how people no longer care about facts and more about their feelings.
the game costs 2 $.

prove me wrong

no its literally X = 1+Y.5, cost and price are two variables. He didn't say "what is its price?"

"Take half of a number and add 1."
There is no answer.

The game= you lost

x = 1 + (x/2)
x - (x/2) = 1
(2x/2) - (x/2) = 1
x/2 = 1
x = 2

did none of you retards finish grade 8 math?

>The question differentiates "cost" and "price.
all correct

A = 1 + (0.5*A)
A - 1 = 0.5 * A

if A = 2 then

2 - 1 = 0.5 * 2
1 = 1

then (A = 2) is true

but ONLY if we assume that "cost" and "price" mean the same thing in context.

2X = X + 1
where X is half the price

2X - X = 1
X = 1

X is half price so 2X = 2, game is $2

the inability to infer what the speaker is referring to means you are socially retarded

and im not gonna let a retard try to tell me how to do math.

$59.99 but... if you preorder for $79.99 we'll give you some useless shit right now that we'll release for free later and if you want a deluxe limited special edition digital download it'll be $159.99 plus an online membership and we're going to charge you $15.99 a piece for expansion packs.

That question basically says theres a game of some price thats costing a buyer half that price PLUS $1.

>fucking stupid. Get off my board

we don't get neither the starting price, or the final price, therefore the "price" is impossible to determine

2$ is a good price for Call of Duty Modern Waffles Remastered.

1+2+3+4+5+6+..... = -1/12

ABOUT tree fiddy

no initial conditions are stated. X don't equal 2.

Y = 1+X/2

Price =/= cost

C= 1 + P/2

A burgers price can be $1 but cost $1.50 because of tax

trips check'd

all you dumbasses that did 30sec of googling to find "the answer is 2$" written somewhere are too retarded to actually think about it and realize that this is impossible to solve regardless of what the fucking dudes on the bodybuilding forum you clicked on said about it.

correct. we cant define "cost" or "price". so something equals $1 plus 50% of something.

thread was made to piss people off till its either abandoned or it 404's

$1.50

moonbitch

Only non retard

Plot twist it's $1.61

Add 7% tax faggots

It's free because I'm illegally downloading it anyway

0.666666666666

Op here
The answer is 0 THE GAME is free YOU LOST

No it does not u fucking moonbitch

well sales tax is not 7% everywhere faggot. 9.6% in Seattle
Fucking Moonbitch

Jesus Christ id love for you retards to come buy something at my store with that promotion.
>hurrr durrr there is no answer it's infinity, ok my clerk here's all my money for your can of soup

Our world is so fucked

he's right

yes it is

Today op was fucked by his daddy and he loved it

Combined personal, corporate, VAT, GST and sales tax average: 40.83% in sweden

Depends on how much the game's worth.

Wrong you fucking simpleton fuck

oh my gosh it's retarded
