gross being 144 as the previous guy pointed out
6×144=864
864x$0.76=656.64
656.64-57%=$282.3552
=$282.36
it doesn’t state that he receives the 57% discount on each pen but on the lot of pens that he has bought (864 total)

A gross = 144
6 gross = 600+240+24= 864 pens
$0.76(1-0.57) =$0.76(0.43) = 0.3268
864*0.3268 = 282.3552 or $282.36
but that is not quite right. He’d actually get charged
to the nearest penny on each pen (or at least the units):
$0.76(1-0.57) =$0.76(0.43) = 0.3268 = 0.33
864*0.33 = $285.12
