Question

A comic book store is having sale. You can buy 20 comic books for $35. What is cost of 8 comic books during the sale

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of 8 comic books is $14

Step-by-step 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
