Question

Auto spent 3/4 of the money he had saved on a new video game. If the video game cost $48, how much money did he have before he bought the game

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

The part of money he spent =3/4

Let the total money Otto has be 'x'.

Then according to the question, we have

3/4x = 48

Multiply 4 on both the sides, we get

3x = 48 X 4

Divide 3 on both the sides, we get

x = 48 X 4 / 3

x = 64!
