Answer:

1012 books per bookcase

Explanation:

Assuming each bookcase has the same number of books, this is a division task.

Your answer will be given by number of books÷number of bookcases.

In this case, that becomes 72864÷72.

This can be solved to 1012.

**This question involves division and writing integer expressions, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!
