Question

If 8 bags of chips cost 10.32;how much will you pay for 20 bags?

Answer 1

$25.80

Explanation:

First, let's find the cost of one bag of chip:

10.32/8 = 1.29

If one bag costs $1.29, simply multiply the number of bags (20) by 1.29

1.29 x 20 = 25.80

= $25.80

Answer 2

25.80

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

8 bags 20 bags
