The profit made on each pack can be calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price:

Profit per pack = Selling price - Cost price
Profit per pack = R60 - R44
Profit per pack = R16

Total profit made by selling 178 packs can be calculated by multiplying the profit per pack by the total number of packs sold:

Total profit = Profit per pack x Number of packs sold
Total profit = R16 x 178
Total profit = R2,848

Therefore, the school shop makes a profit of R2,848 by selling 178 packs of exercise books and stationary.
