Ok since they are sold by the dozen you know that they are sold in groups of 12. So you can divide 105 by twelve to get the amount she needs to buy. You should get 8.75 but since she has to purchase by the dozen we have to round up to 9.

Now that you know that she has to purchase 9 dozens you can multiply 9 buy the price of a single donzen. So $$9*6= answer$$
