Question

Ivan is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved 8, which is one-fourth of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The game costs 38.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\ 32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the game be $x$. Since one-fourth of the cost of the game is equal to 8 dollars, we have the following equation:

$\frac{1}{4}x=8$

Multiply both sides by 4 to isolate and solve for $x$:

$x=8\cdot 4=\boxed{\ 32}$
