Answer:

108 additional cases of cookies

Explanation:

48 cases of cookies = each case contains 12 boxes.

48 times 12 = 576 = old order

If they have a new order of 432 boxes of cookies. But that is NOT the answer. We need it in cases. So, you have to see how many boxes are in a case.

48 divided by 12 = 4. So 4 boxes are in a case. Now we have to find out how many cases there are. So:

432 divided by 4 = 108. So, the answer is 108 additional cases of cookies.
