Question

Eric wants to buy a video game that cost $24 but he only wants to spend 40% of your savings. How much must Eric saying in order to buy the game

Answer 1

Eric needs to have $60 in savings if he wants to spend only 40% of it on a $24 video game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much Eric must have in savings to spend only 40% on a $24 video game, we set up a simple equation where 40% of his total savings (S) equals the price of the game ($24). The equation is 0.40 × S = $24. Solving this equation for S (total savings), we divide both sides by 0.40:

× S = $24
÷ 0.40 ÷ 0.40

S = $24 ÷ 0.40
S = $60

Therefore, Eric must have a total of $60 in savings to spend only 40% on the video game.
