10-inch side of the box, or along the 12-inch Eraser 1 3/8 in 13/16 in 13/16 in 1 3/8 in
side of the box. Figuring how many will fit
How many fit 8 12 14 7
either way, we can make up a little table:
Since 14 × 7 = 98 is more than 8 × 12, it's better to place the 13/16 in side along the 10 in side of the box.
Then total 98 × 64 = 6272 erasers will fit.

and then multiply by 5 to get the total paycheck.
