    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.
