Answer:

She would pay $36.36 to cover the whole box.

Explanation:

You need to find the area of all sides of the box and add them together first.

So, 8x6 = 48

48x2 = 96 (Two of the same sides)

6x11 = 66

66x2 = 132 (Two of the same sides)

8x11 = 88

88x2 = 176 (Two of the same sides)

Add all of those together to get 404 sq inches.

Multiply 404 x 0.09 (the 9 cents) to get your answer of $36.36! Hope this helped!
