A man bought a dozen boxes, each with 24 highlighter pens inside, for $8 per box. He repacked these boxes into packages of six highlighters each and sold them for $3 per package. How much profit did he make?

he brought 12 boxes (dozen) with 24 pens.. okay and each are 8 bucks. 24 x 12 = 288 (pens total) 12 x 8 = $96 (spent total)
6 pens = one package for $3 288 pens divided by 6 ... = 48 packages 48 x 3 = $144 (sold total)
144-96 = $48 (profit)

What is a word problem?
A word problem is a verbal **description **of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life ' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a **mathematical **calculation.
For the given situation,
A dozen **boxes **= 12 boxes
Number of **highlighter **pens in each box = 24
Total number of **highlighter **pens = ( 12 ) ( 24 )
⇒ 288 pens
Price for each box = $8
Total price for 12 **boxes **= ( 12 ) ( 8 )
⇒ $96
He repacked these **boxes **into packages of six **highlighters **each,
⇒ 6 288 ​
⇒ 48 boxes
Price per package = $3
Total price for 48 **boxes **= ( 48 ) ( 3 )
⇒ $144
Thus profit = 144 − 96
⇒ $48
Hence we can conclude that the profit he made from the boxes is $48 .

The man made a total profit of $48 after repacking and selling the highlighter pens. He spent $96 on the pens and earned $144 from selling them. The calculation involves determining the total pens, total cost, total revenue, and then calculating the profit by subtracting costs from revenue.
