Question

Lashonda is saving money to buy a game. So far she has saved $6, which is two-thirds of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

The game costs $9

Explanation:

I wrote an equation using the variable "t" for the total cost of the game.

6=2/3t

t=6/2/3

t=(6/1)(3/2)

t=18/2

t=9
