She spent $75
The best news of this problem is that the books all cost the same.
So 8 + 3 + 4 = 15 books total
15 x $5 = $75

![\bigstar\:\boxed{\bf{\purple{x^{\frac{m}{n}}}=\orange{(\sqrt[n]{x})^m}}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbigstar%5C%3A%5Cboxed%7B%5Cbf%7B%5Cpurple%7Bx%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%7D%7D%3D%5Corange%7B%28%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%7D%29%5Em%7D%7D%7D)
Let's solve !

![:\implies\sf\:(\sqrt[2]{25})^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3A%5Cimplies%5Csf%5C%3A%28%5Csqrt%5B2%5D%7B25%7D%29%5E3)


<u>Hence, Oprion-D is correct</u> !
<u>Solution-</u>
Fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per UK gallon (As the car is manufactured in UK)
1 UK gallon = 4.5459631 lit
1 US gallon = 3.7853060 lit


As the fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per gallon
⇒ You need 1 UK gallon of fuel to go 40 miles
⇒ You need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel to go 40 miles
Or you can say that, to go 40 miles you need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel
⇒ To go 1 mile you will need 
⇒ To go 738 miles you will need 0.0300237×738 = 22.1574906 US gallon of fuel
∴ 22.1574906 gallon of fuel is actually required.
∴ But, what she thinks will require is
(As she calculated using UK gallons)
The ratio of the areas is 340/1158 = 170/579thus the ratio of the side lengths is sqrt(170)/sqrt(579) = .5418the ratio of volumes is the side length ratio cubed = .5418^3 = .159Volume of smaller solid = (.159)(1712) = 272.37
