[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the price of 8 bottles of brand B oil, we use the equation: y = 17x

Substitute x = 8 into the equation:
y = 17 * 8
y = 136

Therefore, the price of 8 bottles of brand B oil is $136.

To find the price of 8 bottles of brand A oil, we look at the table provided:
Number of Bottles, x = 8
Price (dollars), y = ?

From the table, we can see that the price of 5 bottles of brand A oil is $55. Therefore, the price of 1 bottle of brand A oil would be: $55/5 = $11.

So, for 8 bottles:
y = 8 * $11
y = $88

Therefore, the price of 8 bottles of brand A oil is $88.

To find the difference in price, we calculate:
Price of brand B oil - Price of brand A oil
$136 - $88
= $48

Therefore, the price of 8 bottles of brand B oil is $48 more than the price of 8 bottles of brand A oil.

The answer is: $48.
