To find the cost of 8 cans of olive oil, we first need to determine the cost of one can based on the information that 2 cans cost $24.
1. Calculate the cost of one can:
\[
\text{Cost of one can} = \frac{24 \text{ dollars}}{2 \text{ cans}} = 12 \text{ dollars per can}
\]
2. Now, calculate the cost of 8 cans:
\[
\text{Cost of 8 cans} = 8 \text{ cans} \times 12 \text{ dollars per can} = 96 \text{ dollars}
\]
Therefore, the cost of 8 cans is **$96**.
