8 bunches of spinach cost $20 how many bunches of spinach can you get for $5?

Answer»

Answer :

Cost of 8 bunches = $20

Cost of 1 bunch = 20/8 = $2.5

Let x be the no. of bunches then,

2.5×x = $5 (SINCE cost of one bunch is 2.5 so we multiply with the number of bunches to get the total cost)

x = 5/2.5

x = 2

Alternate method

8 bunches - - - - - - - > $20

x bunches - - - - - - - -> $ 5

Cross multiplying,

8×5 = 20×x

40 = 20x

x = 40/20

x = 2
