Answer: The games cost $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The price of the game (x) multiplied by four-fifths (4/5) must be equal to the money saved by Ivanna (20)

Mathematically speaking:

4/5 x = 20

Solving for x

x = 20 / (4/5)

x = 25

The games cost $25
