Question

Otto 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

48/3=16
48+16=the total money Otto have before he buy video game
=$64

Answer 2

He saved up 64 dollars before he bought the game. First, you divide the video game cost by the amount of money he had spent(48/3). Your answer should be 16 dollars. Then, multiply by four because it is equal to the total amount of money(16*4). Your final answer should be 64 dollars.
