10 bunches can be bought with $25

Here, we want to get a proportion that correctly represents the situation

From the question;


\begin{gathered} 4\text{ bunches = \$10} \\ 1\text{ bunch = }(10)/(4) \\ =\text{ \$2.5 per bunch} \end{gathered}

So now, let us get what is to be bought with $25


\begin{gathered} 1\text{ bunch = \$2.5} \\ x\text{ bunches = \$25} \\ x\text{ = }(25)/(2.5) \\ x\text{ = 10} \end{gathered}

The number of bunches that can be bought with $25 is 10
