Question

A spider ate 25% percent more bugs this month than last month. The spider ate 8 bugs last month.

Answer 1

Multiply last month's amount by (1 + 25%) to find this month's amount.

x= bugs eaten this month

x= (8)(1 + 25%)
x= (8)(1 + 0.25)
x= (8)(1.25)
x= 10 bugs this month

Hope this helps! :)
