$132
$108
$164
$98

Answer 1

To find the cost of 12 shirts, we first calculate the cost of one shirt from the information provided:

The cost of 8 shirts is $72.

Let's find the cost of one shirt:
\[
\text{Cost of one shirt} = \frac{72}{8} = 9 \text{ dollars}
\]

Now, we can find the cost of 12 shirts:
\[
\text{Cost of 12 shirts} = 12 \times 9 = 108 \text{ dollars}
\]

Therefore, the cost of 12 shirts is \( \boxed{108} \).
