A woman bought a dozen boxes, each with 24 colored markers inside, for $8.00 each box. She repacked 5 of those boxes into packages of 6 colored markers each, and sold them for $3.00 per package. She sold the rest of the colored markers separately at the rate of three markers for $2.00. How much profit did she make?
• A dozen boxes lets you know that there are 12 boxes.
• Each box has 24 colored markers in them.
• We know that she packed 5 boxes into cases of 6 colored markers each
• $3.00 per package is the selling price of the sets that are separated.
• What’s left is the 7 sets of 24 that are still left after separating the 5 sets.
• 3 pens for $2.00 is the selling price for the 7 sets of colored markers.
So, the question is, how much profit
