To find the total space on the memory card, we need to set up a proportion using the data provided.
Let x = total space on the memory card in GB
1.2 GB is 8% of the total space:
1.2 = 0.08x
To find x, we divide both sides by 0.08:
x = 1.2 / 0.08
x = 15
Therefore, the total space on the memory card is 15 GB.
So, the correct answer is:
D. 15 GB
