If the spider ate 25% more bugs this month than last month, we can calculate the number of bugs eaten this month by adding 25% of the number of bugs eaten last month to the number of bugs eaten last month.
Since the spider ate 8 bugs last month, we calculate 25% of 8 bugs:
\[ 25\% \times 8 = 0.25 \times 8 = 2 \]
So, the spider ate 2 more bugs this month than last month. Adding these 2 extra bugs to the 8 bugs eaten last month gives us the total number of bugs eaten this month:
\[ 8 + 2 = 10 \]
The spider ate 10 bugs this month.
A spider ate
\[25\%\] more bugs this month than last month. The spider ate
\[8\] bugs last month.
How many bugs did the spider eat this month?
