Answer:

26.37

Explanation:

Apparently, we're to substitute 9 for 4 and recompute:

26.37 = (2.93)9

____

This assumes that the 4 in the expression is the number of boxes, and the (2.93) in the expression is the price per box. The product of those numbers is 11.72, apparently the total cost of 4 boxes of nails.
