a
$18.18

b
$27.72

c
$36.36

d
$45.54

Answer 1

C. $36.36

Explanation:

You need to find the surface area of the box. Then, calculate how much it will cost.

SA = 2(wl + hl + hw)

SA = 2([11*8] + [6*8] + [6*11])

SA = 2(88 + 48 + 66)

SA = 2(202)

SA = 404 inches

9 cents per inch

0.09*404 = 36.36
