Question

Charlie is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved $20, which is one-fourth of the total cost of the game. how much does the game cost?

Answer 1

Let 'x' represent the cost of the game.

Therefore, one-fourth of the total cost of the game is

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)\text{ of x=20} \\ (1)/(4)x=20 \end{gathered}`

Evaluate for x

`x=20*4=80`

Hence, the total cost of the game is $80.
