How many pencils are there in ten boxes if each box holds two dozen pencils?

Well, isn't that a lovely question! If each box holds two dozen pencils, that means each box has 24 pencils. So, if we have ten boxes, we can simply multiply 24 pencils by 10 boxes to find the total number of pencils. That would be 240 pencils in total! Just imagine all the beautiful drawings and happy little accidents you could create with all those pencils.
