Dale is saving money to buy a game. So far he has saved $30, which is two-thirds of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cost?
$

T

=

$

36

Step-by-step explanation: Hmm...

Let's organize this problem.

Since he saved

$

30

, he as

$

30

Now, that is five-sixths of the total cost of the game.

Let's name the total cost

T

.

If we have a fraction of something, say, half of four, we multiply the fraction by the whole.

half of four

1

2

⋅

4

Similarly, two-thirds of the total can be represented as:

5

6

⋅

T

Now, the problem is telling us that

$

30

is equal to the expression above.

Therefore,

2/3

T

=

30

=>

6

5

⋅

⋅

T

=

6

5

⋅

30

=>

⋅

T

=

5

⋅

30

=>

T

=
