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:

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

25 bottles * 10 bottles = 250 bottles

Hope this helps:)
