Question

Ahmad is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved $12, which is three-fourths of the total cost of the game.
How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can deduce that 3/4 of the game costs $12. We are now asked to give the actual cost of the game.

Let the cost of the game be x

, this mathematically means:

3/4 * X = 12

3x = 12 * 4

x = (12 * 4)/3 = 48/3 = $16

Hence the cost of the video game is $16
