You can't know without knowing its price?

It could be anything.

[Anonymous No.7668863]

A game costs $1 plus half it is price?

I don't get it.

[Anonymous No.7668873]

>>7668854
2$

[Anonymous No.7668876]

>>7668854
let x be the game's cost/game's price. The statement in the pic is equivalent to writing x=1+x/2, so x/2=1 and x=2.

[Anonymous No.7668889]

The cost is one dollar plus half of the price

Okay bud

Dude , order of operations.
x = 1+ (x / 2)
X equals 2 from basic algebra.
2=1+(2/2) = 1+1

I don't understand how you are tying to say anon was wrong.

It goes recursively to infinity.

So you get 8.3 cents for it?

[Anonymous No.7669305]

let x be the game's price
x=1+x/2
x-x/2 = 1
2x/2 -x/2 = 1
x/2=1
x=2

that's it, 2$

[Anonymous No.7669356]

Is cost price?

[Anonymous No.7669371]

>>7668861
>You can't know this without knowing its price?

The question sates that

>"A game costs $1"

[Anonymous No.7669376]

>A game costs $1

Ok so

game price = $1

>Plus half its price

Ok so

$1/2 = $0.50

$0.50 + $1 = $1.50

Easy peasy

[Anonymous No.7669383]

price X = 1
cost = X+X/2
cost = 1.5

[Anonymous No.7669390]

>>7668854
2$. If it costs 1$ plus the other half, the other half is also 1$.

[Anonymous No.7669425]

>>7668944
But that's wrong desu senpai smdh
x=.5x+1=.5(.5x+1)+1
After n iterations the expression is .5^(n+1)x+2-.5^(n)
Taking the limit of n to inf we get 2.

You must be new here.

How it works is thus:

Anon 1 posts something
Anon 2 pretends to be, or actually is, retarded
Anon 3 gets drawn in to the bait, and replies

This is a problem when low quality baits are posted, and get responses, like pic related

No, clearly it is more than 1.

I can tell you that the "big" is a real number. And it's not very big in scale 0-10.

Not enough information.

[Anonymous No.7669637]

If the game costs $1 plus half the cost, then $1 is the other half of the cost. $2.

[Anonymous No.7669658]

They literally said the game costs $1 you idiots.
Plus half its price. In this problem it would be $0.50.
1+.50 = $1.50

>reading comprehension

[Anonymous No.7669790]

>>7669658
If it costs $1.50, then half its price is 75 cents, not 50 cents, so this is the wrong answer.

[Anonymous No.7669800]

[Anonymous No.7669943]

>>7668854
say x is the cost of the game, in USD.
x = 1 + 0.5x

0.5x = 1
x = 2
