If it costs 1 + half, 1 is obviously the other half right? Because both halves are equal, half + half = 1 + 1 = 2
Nothing complicated.

No. If that were the case then half it's cost would be 75 cents.
$1 plus 75 cents is $1.75, not $1.50.

I think half of /sci/ just has downs if I had to break it down for you.

No.
Price of game = 1 + half of its price
It cannot be 1.5, as that would make it cost 1.75.

>> No.3875506

are we implying that cost of production is equal to sell's proce?
in that case:
let x be the price/cost, then
1+x/2=X
1=x-x/2
1=1/2x
x=2

if we consider that the sell's price is different from the cost of production:
let x be the price and y the cost, so:
1+y/2=x

which you /sci/ as the phd in mathematics and physics that you are, know cant be solve.

Yep, infinite recursion is one way of tackling it. You're just summing halves of 1 until you get to 1 though (pic related).

You'll get the same thing if you use basic algebra though:
x=1+x/2
1/2x=1
x=2

Correctly formulated the question and then couldn't combine like terms. Fullretard tier.

Sci is honestly the dumbest board I've been to. b would have a higher success rate with this question than you idiots would.

Non-englishfag here, what exactly is the difference between cost and price? It seems to me like it would be the same for the consumer (as anon above said), although I've seen people say something about taxes before.

From an economics point of view, cost includes all things that the producer had to pay in order to produce the project i.e. time, money, and opportunity costs. Price is what the consumer of the goods pay to purchase the item

>> No.3875767

Option 1-
Price= wholesale
Cost= retail

C = 1/2xP+1


Option 2-
Price=Cost

P=1+(1x1/2)
or 1.5
