Mohammad Mendoza · Answer 1

Boxes 85

Explanation:

Missing information: Here profit value is not given. So, 1 1/8 or 9/8 dollars profit on every box.

Number of boxes sold = 75

Total profit on 75 boxes = 9/8 * 75 = $84.375

Target profit is $180

Amount needed to meet target = 180 - 84.375

= $95.625

Profit on one box = 9/8 or $1.125

Number of boxes to be sold to earn $95.625 = 95.625 / 1.125

= 85 boxes

So, 85 more boxes need to be sold to receive target profit of $180.
