Please please help me with the answer I can't do this by myself

Kim bought 80 butterscotch candies. The candies came in bags, and the number of bags was 2 less than the number of candies in each bag. How many bags of candy did Kim buy?

She bought 8 bags of candy since 10 multiplied by eight is 80 and 8 is two less than ten.(ten candies in each bag)
