-----------------------
Each ounce of coffee beans costs d/8 dollars
----
Each ounce of coffee beans makes c cups.
1 cup requires 1/c ounces of coffee beans.
--------------------
price of 1/c ounces of coffee beans = (1/c)(d/8) = d/(8c) dollars
---------
cost of beans to make one cup = d/(8c) dollars
