Answer:

720 pencils

Explanation:

The parameter given are;

The unit quantity by which the pencils are sold = 1 gross

The number of pencils Daffodil orders = 5 gross of pencils

One gross is a quantity equal to twelve dozens

Therefore, we can write;

1 gross = 12 × 12 = 144

From which we have;

5 gross = 5 × 144 = 720

Which gives;

For the 5 gross of pencils Daffodil orders, she receives 720 pencils
