Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! If 12 pencils cost 96 cents, we can find out how much 1 pencil costs by dividing 96 by 12, which equals 8 cents per pencil. To find out how much 9 pencils would cost, we simply multiply 8 cents by 9, giving us a total of 72 cents. Happy calculating!

Write a proportion: 12 pencils for 96 = 9 pencils for "x", or 12/96 = 9/x.

Simplify: 1/8 = 9/x.

Solve: 1 times x = 9 times 8; x = 72 (cents).
