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.
