Denise bought a tote bag at a gift shop for $12. The same bag is available at Denise's pharmacy for 2/3 the price she paid at the gift shop.

1. **Gift Shop Price:** $12 for one bag.

2. **Pharmacy Price:** (2/3) * $12 = $8 for one bag.

Now, let's see how many bags you can buy from the pharmacy with the same amount of money that would be spent on 10 bags from the gift shop:

- **Gift Shop Cost for 10 bags:** $12/bag * 10 bags = $120.

- **Pharmacy Bags with the Same Cost:** $120 / $8/bag = 15 bags.

Therefore, with the same amount of money, you can buy 15 bags from the pharmacy.
Denise bought a tote bag at the gift shop for $12. The same bag is available at Denise's pharmacy for 2/3 the price she paid at the gift shop.

To find out how many bags can be bought from the pharmacy with the same amount of money, we need to determine the price of the bag at the pharmacy.

The price of the bag at the pharmacy is 2/3 of $12, which can be calculated as:
(2/3) * $12 = $8.

Now, let's calculate how many bags can be bought from the pharmacy with the same amount of money that was used to buy 10 bags at the gift shop.

Since each bag at the pharmacy costs $8, the number of bags that can be bought with the same amount of money is:
10 bags * ($12 / $8) = 10 bags * 1.5 = 15 bags.

Therefore, with the same amount of money, you can buy **15 bags** from the pharmacy.
