Question

Leila is saving money to buy a new game. So far aha has saved $24, which is three-fourths of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

Leila needs $24

1. 1/4 of $24 -> 24/4 = 6

2. Leila has saved 3/4 of so far: 3 * 6 (step 1) = $18

3. Leila needs $24- $18 (step 2) = $6

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(3)/(4) x = 24`

`x = 24 * (4)/(3)`

`x = (96)/( 3)` x = 32 dollars
