Anyone who replies with an answer is participating in the trolling. The question is ambiguous.

If you assume price is synonymous with cost, as in the store sell price, then you can do it. Some people are .. more creative.

Either way, the only reason to post that is to troll.

cost = price = x

cost = price/2 +1
x = x/2 +1
2x = x +1
x = 1
OH SHIT THAT WAS SO HARD

Yeah i'm an idiot
>>4240275
this should be:
cost = price = x

cost = price/2 +1
x = x/2 +1
2x = x +2
x = 2

If its price is a dollar plus the other half of its price, the dollar is the second half. If one dollar is one half, one dollar is the other half.

Two halves = $2

No algebra required. It's axiomatic.

assuming 7% sales tax, it's either $2.31 or $2.32
(1+2.31/2)*1.07=$2.31
