To solve this equation, we can set up a proportion.
Let x represent the total space on the card.
We have the proportion:
1.2 GB / x = 8% / 100%
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
1.2 GB * 100% = 8% * x
120 GB = 0.08x
Dividing both sides by 0.08, we get:
x = 120 GB / 0.08
x = 1500 GB
Therefore, the total space on the card was 15 GB.
The correct answer is 15 GB.
