The student council sells scented erasers in the morning before school starts to help raise money for school dances. The local bookstore donated 48 boxes of erasers. There are 24 erasers in each box. If the student council sells the erasers for $0.75 each, how much money will they make? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
There are 48 boxes x 24 erasers = 1,152 erasers. The student council will make 1,152 erasers x $0.75 = $864.
Therefore, the answer is 864.
