Let's find the price of 8 magnets using unitary method :

• 3 magnets costs $10

• 1 magnet cost $ 10 / 3

• 8 magnets costs $ (10 / 3) × 8

that is :

• $\dfrac{80}{3}$

• $\ \: 26.66$

Answer 2

So if it’s 3 for 10 you have to find the average. Divide 10 by 3 to get you 3.33 $ per magnet. But we need 8 magnets! So 8x3.33= 26.64$
