A dozen eggs cost as much as a pound of rice --> 12 eggs = 1 pound of rice = 33 cents;
A half-liter of kerosene costs as much as 8 eggs --> 8 eggs = 1/2 liters of kerosene.
How many cents does a liter of kerosene cost --> 1 liter of kerosene = 16 eggs = 16/12*33 = 44 cents.
Answer: D.

Main thing to remember is answer is asked in cents, however when we calculate, it comes up as 0.44 $
Just multiply by 100, Answer = 44
Just multiply by 100, Answer = 44
