Answer: $46.08
Explanation:
Find the surface Area of the box
the bases are 12*12= 144 times 2 bases 144*2= 288
The area of each side is 12*18=216 times 4 sides 216*4=864
add the totals together to find the total surface area 288+864=1152
total surface area is 1152 inches. Multiply by the cost per square inch
1152*.04= 46.08
