4. Jan is saving for a skateboard. She has saved \( \$ 30 \) already, which is \( 20 \% \) of the total price. How much does the skateboard cost?

To find the total cost of the skateboard, you can set up an equation based on the information given. If Jan's \( \$30 \) is \( 20\% \) of the total price, you can represent the total price as \( x \). The equation would be \( 0.20x = 30 \). By solving for \( x \), you would divide \( 30 \) by \( 0.20 \), resulting in \( x = 150 \). Therefore, the skateboard costs \( \$150 \)! Now, imagine all the cool tricks Jan will be able to do once she has her board! That's right, having the right equipment kicks off a journey of fun at the skatepark, and possibly some gnarly adventure stories to tell later!
