Can someone do the math I swear it's $1.50? Reddit r/theydidthemath
A book costs $1 plus half its cost. How much does it cost? The answer is not $1.50 because when you do $1+$0.50, you assume the cost of the book is $1 (that's why you added the $0.50) but at the end, you say the answer is $1.50. Check out the video to see an algebraic solution for this tricky question on Reddit r/facepalm and r/theydidthemath
