A digital memory card is only 8% full. If there is 1.2 GB worth of data, how much total space was on the card?
Let's say the total space on the card is x GB.
Since the card is 8% full, this means 8% of x GB is equal to 1.2 GB.
Mathematically, this can be expressed as: 8% of x = 1.2
To find the value of x, we can convert 8% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 8/100 = 0.08
So, the equation becomes: 0.08x = 1.2
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.08: x = 1.2 / 0.08
Simplifying, x = 15.
Therefore, the total space on the card is 15 GB.
