Answer:

The cost of 8 comic books is $14

Explanation:

Given

$20\ books = \$35$

Required

Determine the cost of 8 books

First, we need to determine the cost of 1 book

$20\ books = \$35$

Divide through by 20

$20\ books/20 = \$35/20$

$1\ book = \$35/20$

$1\ book = \$1.75$

Then multiply both sides by 8 to get the cost of 8

$8 * 1\ book = \$1.75 * 8$

$8 \ books = \$14$

Hence;

The cost of 8 comic books is $14
