To find out how long it will take to complete the video game at the current rate, we can set up a proportion based on the information given:

You have completed 15% of the game in 23 minutes. We want to find the total time, \( T \), it will take to complete 100% of the game.

We can set up the equation:

\[ \frac{15}{100} = \frac{23}{T} \]

Now, we can cross-multiply to solve for \( T \):

\[ 15T = 100 \times 23 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 100 \times 23 = 2300 \]

So we have:

\[ 15T = 2300 \]

Now, divide both sides by 15 to solve for \( T \):

\[ T = \frac{2300}{15} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ T \approx 153.33 \text{ minutes} \]

Therefore, it will take approximately 153.33 minutes to complete the game.
