Question

2/3 of the budge for go bucks goes to the adults I. The family and the rest goes to the kids the total budget. 2/3x=120
What does 120 represent
Solve for x

Answer 1

In the equation \( \frac{2}{3}x = 120 \), the number 120 represents the total amount of the budget that goes to the adults in the family.

To solve for \( x \), you can follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{2}{3}x = 120
\]

2. To isolate \( x \), multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{3}{2} \):
\[
x = 120 \times \frac{3}{2}
\]

3. Calculate the right side:
\[
x = 120 \times 1.5 = 180
\]

Thus, the total budget \( x \) is \( 180 \).
