Full question: Denise buys a tote bag at a gift shop for $12. The same bag is available at Denise’s pharmacy for 2/3 the price she paid at the gift shop. Let’s say you have enough money to buy 10 bags from the gift shop. How many bags can you buy from the pharmacy with the same amount of money?

Vocaloid · Answer

You have enough money to buy 10 bags from the gift shop. They are $12 at the gift shop. Therefore, you have 10 * $12 = $120.

At the pharmacy they are 2/3 the price they are at the gift shop, so you can simply multiply (2/3) * $12 to get the price at the pharmacy. Finally, you can divide $120 by the price at the pharmacy to get the # of bags you can buy at the pharmacy.
