Answer 2

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
