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 = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

⇒ @@MATH_TOKEN_1@@ pens

Price for each box = $8

Total price for 12 boxes = $(12)(8)$

⇒ $\$ 96$

He repacked these boxes into packages of six highlighters each,

⇒ $\frac{288}{6}$

⇒ $48$ boxes

Price per package = $3

Total price for 48 boxes = @@MATH_TOKEN_6@@

⇒ @@MATH_TOKEN_7@@

Thus profit = @@MATH_TOKEN_8@@

⇒ @@MATH_TOKEN_9@@

Hence we can conclude that the profit he made from the boxes is $48 .
