ANSWER


\$80

Step-by-step explanation

Let the cost of the game be x.

Amy has saved $20 which is one-fourth of the total cost of the game. This means that:


20=(1)/(4)x

Solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4:


\begin{gathered} x=20\cdot4 \\ x=\$80 \end{gathered}

The game costs $80.
