Elsa saving money to buy a game so far she had saved $36 which is 3/4 of the total cost of the game how much does the game cost

48

Step-by-step explanation:

36 = 3/4x

Divide by three then multiply by four to get x instead of 3/4x

36/3 = 12 x 4 = 48

28

step-by-step explanation:

because that's the answer

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
