Question

Elsa saving money to buy a game so far she had saved $36 which is 3/4 of the total cost of the game how much does the game cost

Answer 1

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of the game

$36 = 3/4 x

Divide both sides by 3/4

$36/3/4 = x

$36 *4 / 3 = x

$48 = x

Therefore, the game costs $48

Answer 2

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how much the game costs in total, we first need to divide $36 by 3 (3 is the numerator).

36 / 3 = 12

The number 12 is how much each quarter is worth as shown below.

1/4 = 12

2/4 = 24

3/4 = 36

4/4 = ?

To find the answer, all we do is add 12 to 36.

12 + 36 = $48
