Question

A. 1.05 GB
B. 13.8 GB
C. 10.5 GB
D. 15 GB
Thanks

Answer 1

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
