A digital memory card is only 8% full if there is 1.2 GB worth of data. How much total space was on the card?

1 answer

Let's denote the total space on the card as "x" GB.
Since the digital memory card is only 8% full, this means that 8% of the total space is occupied by 1.2 GB worth of data.
Mathematically, we can represent this as: 0.08x = 1.2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.08, we get: x = 1.2 / 0.08
Evaluating the right side of the equation, we find: x = 15
Therefore, the total space on the card was 15 GB.
