Question

Yolanda is saving money to buy a game. so far she has saved $30 , which is five-sixths of the total cost of the game. how much does the game cost?

Answer 1

A trick is to replace the "of" with a multiplication symbol"
the 30 dollar is (5/6 of the total cost =>30=(5/6)*c =>c=30*(6/5)=36
the game cost 36 dollars
