First, you add up the total amount of boxes he received
96+264=360
There are 24 books per box and lets call the total amount of boxes x. So in order to find out the total number of boxes one must write an equation for it.
24 * x =360
if you multiply the amount of books that fit in a box with the number of boxes then the answer should be the total number of books. so all one has to do to find the answer is solve for x.
