Question

I NEED ANSWER ASAP !!! goran is saving money to buy a game . So far he has saved $22 , which is one-half of the total cost of the game . How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

Given

$22 is HALF of the price of the game.

Let the price of the game be "x", so we can say:

22 is half of x.

We can translate into an algebraic equation.

Remember,

is will be =

of will be x

Now, translating:

`22=(1)/(2)* x`

Now, we can solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} 22=(1)/(2)* x \\ x=(22)/((1)/(2)) \\ x=22\cdot(2)/(1) \\ x=44 \end{gathered}`

THe game costs $44
