\(A. \ \dfrac{x}{3}\)
\(B. \ \dfrac{x}{5}\)
\(C. \ \dfrac{x}{8}\)
\(D. \ \dfrac{3x}{20}\)
\(E. \ \dfrac{3x}{40}\)

The cost per person when 8 people rent the house is x/8 and the cost per person when 5 people rent the house is x/5; thus, when five people rent the house, each of them will have to pay x/5 - x/8 = 8x/40 - 5x/40 = 3x/40 dollars more.
