Dante is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved $20, which is four-fiths of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cosх$?

Respuesta :

Money saved = $20

According to the statement we can establish the following equation

[tex]20=\frac{4}{5}X[/tex]

where X is the total cost of the game

now let's find X

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}X=20 \\ 5\cdot\frac{4}{5}X=20\cdot\: 5 \\ 4X=100 \\ \frac{4X}{4}=\frac{100}{4} \\ X=25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the total cost of the videogame is $25
