Jamie is saving money to buy a new video system. So far, he has saved $16, which is 15% of the total cost of the system. What is the total cost of the system?

0.15x = 16

x = 16/0.15

x = $106.67

Thank u so much

You're very welcome.

To determine the total cost of the video system, we can set up an equation to solve for it. Let's assume the total cost of the video system is represented by the variable 'x'.

According to the information given, Jamie has saved $16, which is 15% of the total cost. In other words, 15% of 'x' equals $16.

Mathematically, we can express this equation as:

0.15x = 16

To find the total cost, we can solve this equation for 'x' by dividing both sides by 0.15:

x = 16 / 0.15

By performing this calculation, we can determine the total cost of the video system.
