Answer 2

We started with one small box. Then we added a box on the side to make it twice as long. Then we added boxes on top to make it twice as tall. Then we added boxes behind it to make it twice as long. That gave us 8 of the small boxes.

Then we multiplied 8 boxes by 24 staplers in each box and got 192 boxes.
