Each book costs D%2F3 cents
Eight books will cost %288%2F3%29D=8D%2F3 cents

Find the cost of, in cents, of 8 books if 3 books of the same kind cost D dollar
(1) 8D divided by three
(2)3 divided by 800D
(3)3 divided by 8D
(4) 800D divided by 3
(5) 108D divided by 3

If 3 books cost a total of D dollars, then 3 books cost D(100), or 100D cents

With cost of 8 books being C, we can say that:

3%2F8+=+100D%2FC

3C = 800D ------ Cross-multiplying

C, or cost of 8 books = highlight_green%28800D%2F3%29 cents (CHOICE 4)
