Question

For every 10 bottles collected and returned to the depot, you are paid 25 cents. How many bottles would you need to collect $10?

Answer 1

25 cents x 40 bottles =10.00

Explanation:

25 cents = 10 bottles

1 dollar = 40 bottles

40 bottles = 20$

Answer 2

You would need 250 bottles to collect $10.

Explanation:

10 bottles / 25 cents = 0.4 cents per bottle

10 bottles / 0.4 cents per bottles = 25 bottles
