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?

Question

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

Answer 1

To find the total space on the memory card, we can set up a proportion:

1.2 GB is 8% of the total space on the memory card.

1.2/x = 8/100

Cross multiply:

8x = 120

Now, divide by 8 on both sides:

x = 15

Therefore, the total space on the memory card is 15 GB.

The correct answer is A. 15 GB
