∵ The cost of 2 sweaters is $25.58

∵ The number of sweaters is 8

→ We will use the ratio method to solve the question

→ Cost : Number of sweaters

→ 25.58 : 2

→ x : 8

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x * 2 = 25.58 * 8

∴ 2x = 204.64

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 102.32

The cost of the 8 sweaters is $102.32
