We are required to find the price of the first game

The price of the first game is $20

Given:

let

price of the first game = x

price of the second game = x + 50% of x

= x + 0.5x

= 1.5x

Price of the third game = 50% of 1.5x

= 0.5 × 1.5x

= 0.75x

Total cost of game = $65

<em>Total cost of game = price of the first game + price of the second game + Price of the third game</em>

65 = x + 1.5x + 0.75x

65 = 3.25x

divide both sides by 3.25

x = 65 ÷ 3.25

x = 20

Therefore, the price of the first game is $20
