The real trick of the problem is the use of it's instead of its makes the answer null and void.
 
What? I think it should be $1.50
Does it keep going up by half? Or does it stop?

A million dollars or a penny double everyday for a year, which do you choose?
1 + .5(price) = (price)
1 = .5(price) (Subtract .5(price) from both sides)
2 = x (Multiply both sides by 2)

As for the second, penny double easily.
6÷2(1+2)=?
*shakes head*
(6/2)*(1+2) = 9
6 / (2 * (1 + 2)) = 1

MD != Multiplication before Division, they have the same priority :p

Maybe I am completly wrong but here is how I understood it

answer is unknown
cost = 1 + half of price

answer is unknown.

c = 1 + x/2

you understandings it correct, it be just a algorithm to math workers game sells.

That x should be a c.

it doesn't really matter what it is, but yeah c is easier on you're brain cellulars.

*edit* i meant the symbol. of course they need to be distinct variables.

Actually, smarty-pants, in the context of the question asked by the poster to whom I was responding, yes, it does matter that the variables are the same as each other. Whether they are both x or both c or both some other letter or symbol, it very much matters.

Nice try, though.

no it doesn't matter c is y is the function containing the independent variable x
 
of course not. "cost" c is the dependent variable y, "price" p is the independent variable x. the total cost is dependent upon the price of the game, half off plus one dollar.

Yeah, that is one of the reasons why people can argue that it is impossible to answer. You do not know the price.
 
1 + .5(price) = (price)
1 = .5(price) (Subtract .5(price) from both sides)
2 = x (Multiply both sides by 2)

What? I'm to sick to understand this. This my head hurts from dehydration and this flu already.

I don't under stand the second point of of subtracting from both sides then multiplying both sides by 2. . . .

It is considering price equal to cost.

cost = 1 + (1/2)*cost
cost - (1/2)*cost = 1 + (1/2)*cost - (1/2)*cost
(1/2)*cost = 1
(1/2)*cost*2 = 1*2
cost = 2
 
the answer is c=1+1/2*p. inversely, the answer is p=(c-1)*2

if a game is priced at 60 dollars, it costs 31.
if a game costs 31 dollars, it's priced at 60.
