Eric has been donating books he no longer needs to his local library. After 3 months of donating, he had 157 books left in his room. After 8 months of donating, he had 102 books left in his room. How many books per month did Eric donate on average between months 3 and 8?

11 books;

157 books - 102 books = 55 books (donated)
55 books divided by those 5 months in between is 11 books
