Answer:

$14.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to answering this question

  1. Determine the total number of comics bought. This can be done by dividing the total amount spent on comics by the unit price of a comic
  2. Determine the selling price of the comic
  3. multiply the amount of comics bought by the selling price

the total number of comics bought = total amount spent on comics / per unit price of comics

$20.16 / $0.72 = 28

selling price = 0.72 - $0.20 = $0.52

Total amount received = selling price x total comics bought

$0.52 x 28 = $14.56
