Suppose that 24 inches of wire costs 96 cents. at the same rate, how much (in cents) will 18 inches of wire cost?

It will cost $0.72 for 18 inches of wire.

24 / 96 = 0.04 for one inch of wire

0.04 * 18 = 0.72 for 18 inches of wire

Answer for 2: his profit would be $2.88 explanation: you have to first multiply 72 and 0.12 together to get $8.64 once you do that you know how much money the shopkeeper made from selling the candy bars individually. so you have to do 8.64-5.76=2.88 hope that ; )answer for 3: yeah i’m sorry i have no idea what number 3 is. i’m sorry i couldn’t with that.
