To find the total space on the memory card when it is 8% full with 1.2 GB of data, we can set up the equation:
Let \( x \) be the total space on the card.
Since 1.2 GB represents 8% of the total space, we can write the equation as:
\[ 0.08x = 1.2 \]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{1.2}{0.08} = 15 \]
Thus, the total space on the card is 15 GB.
