Answer:

1/18

Explanation:

Let x represent the total birthday money

And y the amount of each video games

Given;

You spent 1/3 of your birthday money on 6 video games

6y = (1/3)x ......1

Since each of the six video games cost the same.

The fraction of your birthday money that each video game cost is;

from equation 1, making y the subject of formula;

6y = (1/3)x

divide both sides by 6;

y = (1/3)x × 1/6 = (1/18)x

Therefore, each video game cost 1/18 of the total birthday money.
