I would ask: If a watermelon costs $5 dollars plus half the cost of a watermelon, how much does a watermelon cost?

[msagimbekov]

10$

[bryanrasmussen]

you know I recently interviewed at a place I was even sort of interested in and they turned me down because they said they thought I wasn't really interested, and I didn't even ask them anything like this question. Imagine if I had!

[edwinprakash]

$5

[AznHisoka]

$7.50

Cost = $5 Half = 2.50

[hanniabu]

Too much? (Limit approaches infinity?)

It's 10. You are essentially looking to the solution for:

x = 5 + (x/2)

10 = 5 + (10/2)
