There is 32 ounces peanut butter in the pantry now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Amount of peanut butter at the start of month = 40 oz
Amount now = 1/5 less than original amount
First, we will calculate what is 1/5 of total amount.
1/5 of total amount = [tex]\frac{1}{5}*40=8\ oz[/tex]
Amount now = Amount at the start of month - 1/5 of original amount
Amount now = 40 - 8 = 32 oz
There is 32 ounces peanut butter in the pantry now.
