$1 plus half it's price

x=x/2 + 1
x/2=1
x=2

>blabla its 2
>blabla its impossible to answer cus infinity
>blabla its terribly worded
>blabla its hard to tell who is stupid and who is just trolling xc
>blabla i hate these threads

just. please. its obvious where this thread is going, and its not anywhere enjoyable.

$1 + half it's price

That means that $1 is the other half. 1 x 2 = 2
Didn't even need to make an equation.

The sum diverges at infinity. Did anyone take Calc 2?

>Didn't even need to make an equation.

Then why did you?

Is Calc 2 any different than common core? Because apparently both give you a retardedly complex answer for an question with a simple answer anyone can reach through common sense.

I didn't tho?

1x2=2

That's not an equation? Lmao?

But it is?

But it's not? There wasn't even an "X" to find?

...

Why do some people say it's impossible to answer, Veeky Forums?

Surely the answer is 2.

e·qua·tion
əˈkwāZHən/Submit
noun
1.
MATHEMATICS
a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).
synonyms: mathematical problem, sum, calculation, question
"a quadratic equation"
2.
the process of equating one thing with another.
"the equation of science with objectivity"
synonyms: identification, association, connection, matching; More

what is this "x" you speak of that you seem to think is somehow required for an equation?

equation is just two things that are mathematically equal, with an equals sign between them

>mfw when the "it" refers to the $1, not the game

$0, you can just pirate the game.

Through words, you said that .5x=1. Just because you didn't write something in equation form doesn't mean that you didn't use one.

It's 2. Only people with irreparable brain damage (aka theoraticals) can't answer this.

1,50 wtf are all the brainlets itt on

1$=100%
1 plus half=150%
1.5

it's either this or every number larger than 1

Holy shit.

Holyshit, never knew that Veeky Forums is retarded :

[math] n = price [/math]

1$ plus half of the price :
[math] ==> [/math] [math] 1$ + \frac {n}{2} [/math]

so it depends on how much is [math]n[/math]

14/88 dollars

but half of 1.5 is .75, friendo, not .5

>it's price
>It's
>it is price
Nigga u dum

We're talking half of one here dipshit. The answer is either 1.50 or all reals greater than or ewual to like 1.5 (if you were to perpetually include the percentage (+50%) in the cost of the item it would never end.

>half it's price

What did he mean by this?

Is English your second language?

Veeky Forums stop shitposting, the answer is 2, it can't be anything else.

I hate the pretending to be retarded meme.

2 $.
If any of you think otherwise you might want to reconsider your time in HS or the time maybe just give up, because you don't even understand simple calculus.

>simple calculus
If any of you think you need to use calculus you might want to reconsider your time in HS or the time maybe just give up, because you don't even understand basic reasoning skills

Got another brainlet filter for you guys: A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle of radius 1. What is the length of the hexagon's perimeter?

ITT: "intellectual" brainlets with an online IQ of 180 argue about basic arithmetic.

How is wrong?

It's not strictly wrong, but it's like saying 1+1=a. Clearly G=p here

Recursiveness is retarded.

>Recursiveness is retarded.
It's not recursive.

The price doesn't change, and you don't need calculus to solve it, just algebra.

oops, forgot pic

Game cost $1
Plus half its price ($.50)
$1.50

1 + log 2

...

The question is wrong because it says it's when it means its. Thus the sentence is nonsensical.

Let [math]n \,\in\, \mathbf N[/math] be the game price in cents. Since both it and $1 must have a monetary representation, so does "half its price," denoted in the field of so-called "rational" numbers as [math]\frac n2[/math], which needs [math]n[/math] to be even. Choose [math]q \,\in\, \mathbf N[/math] such that [math]n \,=\, 2\, q[/math]. By the fact that the game "costs $1 plus half its price," [math]n \,=\, q \,+\, 100[/math]. By symmetry and transitivity of equality in natural numbers, [math]2\, q \,=\, q \,+\, 100[/math]. By subtracting [math]q[/math] on both sides in the commutative group [math]\left( \mathbf Z,\, + \right), [math]q \,=\, 100[/math] then [math]n \,=\, 2 \,\times\, 100 \,=\, 200[/math].

Therefore, the game costs $2, Q.E.D.

It depends how much profit one does want. Say, a nigga needs $3 per game, then

P - C = 3
C = 1 + P/2

and this gives price=8, cost=5

putting [math] into everything makes it an equation?

Imagine being both autistic AND a brainlet.

>half it is price
guess this isn't /grammar/

Went a little autistic when we got into the integers

Infinity dollars

It's not recursive, you dumdum. It's p = .5p + 1

Making it all a bit overexplicit, but this is correct.

p = .5p + 1
2p = p + 2
p = 2
by your initial reasoning

Yes, that is correct, and what I was trying to show you. It's a very simple algebra problem.

g = 1 + g/2
g - g/2 = 1
2g/2 - g/2 = 1
g/2 = 1
g = 2

brainlets

As long as the word cost means price the answer is two.

Finally someone who knows the difference between cost and price.

But the problem doesn't say that $1 is its price, so we're not 'talking half of one here', retard. The answer is $2.

A game costs 1 plus half its price.
A game cost half its price plus half its price.
Half its price is 1.
The game cost 2.
