5 pounds = K cents
8 pounds = x cents
Multiply 5.x = 8.k
x =8/5 k
x =1.6 k cents.

But why should someone ask such an elementary question like this one, unless there was a trick or a trap in it?
Anyway, in the real world, eight pounds of apples (assuming this the cost of sale, not of production) would probably cost less than 1,60K cents, because you could always ask for a discount and get it.

5/K=8/X
8K/K=5X/k
8 pounds= $5X/K
lets assume 'x' is the variable for the amount of the 8 pound apple.....hehe
