Answer: $10

Explanation:

Let's analize the information given: We know that she had $94 to spend on 8 books and after buying these books she had $14. So, we need to calculate the amount of money she spent. Subtract $94 and $14:


Total\ spent=\$94-\$14\\Total\ spent=\$80

Then, to calculate the cost of each book, we need to divide the "Total spent" by 8:


cost\ of\ each\ book=(Total\ spent)/(8)\\\\cost\ of\ each\ book=(\$80)/(8)\\\\cost\ of\ each\ book=\$10
