Elsa is saving money to buy a game.
So far she saved $24, which is two-thirds of the total cost of the game.
let the cost of the game is $x
Then, two -third of the total cost = 2/3 x
Since, it is given that 24 is the two-thirds of the total cost of the game.
i.e.
[tex]\frac{2}{3}x=24[/tex]
Simplify the expression for x;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x=24 \\ \text{ Apply cross multiplication;} \\ 2x=24\times3 \\ x=\frac{24\times3}{2} \\ x=12\times3 \\ x=36 \end{gathered}[/tex]
x = 36
Total cost of the game is $36
