If a person bought 8 items and each item was priced at $4, that means the total amount spent was $32.

The person received 8 dollars in change. This means that the person payed 8 dollars more than what they spent. Well, we just found out how much they spent, so we can find out how much money the person gave the vendor.
Let p = amount of money paid by the person.


The person gave the vendor $40.
The answer is B, 5/6, because when you multiply 4 by 5 it is 20, and when you multiply 5 by 6, you get 30, so 20/30. And, 20/30=2/3. I hope I answered your question!
The answer will be x= -3/5
-x ---------------- 1x
7y --------------- 12y
-12x^2 --------- 8x^2
a ----------------- -2a
6a^2------------ a^2
-5x^3 ---------- 15x^3
