A restaurant uses 80 pounds of potatoes per week. The restaurant owner buys the potatoes in 10-pound bags from a local farmer. How many bags will the owner need to buy this week?

80/10 = 8 bags

8 bags

80 ÷ 10 = 8 bags

To find out how many bags the restaurant owner will need to buy, we can divide the total weight of potatoes required by the weight of each bag.

First, let's calculate the number of bags needed to meet the demand for potatoes:

Number of bags = Total weight of potatoes / Weight of each bag

Total weight of potatoes = 80 pounds
Weight of each bag = 10 pounds

Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:

Number of bags = 80 pounds / 10 pounds

Number of bags = 8 bags

Therefore, the restaurant owner will need to buy 8 bags of potatoes this week.
