Question

I NEED ANSWER ASAP !!! goran is saving money to buy a game . So far he has saved $22 , which is one-half of the total cost of the game . How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

Given

$22 is HALF of the price of the game.

Let the price of the game be "x", so we can say:

22 is half of x.

We can translate into an algebraic equation.

Remember,

is will be =

of will be x

Now, translating:

$22=\frac{1}{2}\times x$

Now, we can solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} 22=\frac{1}{2}\times x \\ x=\frac{22}{\frac{1}{2}} \\ x=22\cdot\frac{2}{1} \\ x=44 \end{gathered}$

THe game costs $44
