    Answer: they have to sell 85 boxes to get 180 dollars.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of boxes that they would sell.

    For every box they sell, they get 1 1/8 dollars profit. Converting 1 1/8 dollars to decimal, it becomes 1.125 dollars. This means that if they sell x boxes, the amount of profit that they would make is 1.125x dollars.

    They have sold 75 boxes. It means that the profit they made from selling 75 boxes is

    75 * 1.125 = 84.375

    Therefore, to get 180 dollars profit, the number of boxes they need to sell is

    1.125x + 84.375 = 180

    1.125x = 180 - 84.375

    1.125x = 95.625

    x = 95.625/1.125

    x = 85
