Question

Ivan is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved 8, which is one-fourth of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cost?

Answer 1

`\$32`

Explanation:

Let the cost of the game be
`x`. Since one-fourth of the cost of the game is equal to 8 dollars, we have the following equation:

`(1)/(4)x=8`

Multiply both sides by 4 to isolate and solve for
`x`:

`x=8\cdot 4=\boxed{\$32}`
