The total cost of the television is $2400
Step-by-step explanation:
Brian has been saving money to buy 55- inches Samsung led television
Assume that the cost of the television is $x
∵ The cost of the television is $x
∵ The percentage of the cost of the television is 100%
∵ Brain saved $ 1440 which is 60% of the cost of the television
Let us use the ratio method
→ The cost of the television : The money saved
→ 100% : 60%
→ x : 1440
By using cross Multiplication
∴ 60% (x) = 100% (1440)
- Divide both sides by 60%
∴ [tex]x=\frac{(100)(1440)}{60}[/tex]
∴ x = 2400
The total cost of the television is $2400
