To find the total number of colored pencils in the display, we can break it down step by step.

  1. Calculate the total number of boxes:
    There are 24 rows of 12 boxes each.
    Total boxes = 24 rows × 12 boxes/row = 288 boxes

  2. Calculate the total number of colored pencils:
    Each box contains 64 colored pencils.
    Total colored pencils = 288 boxes × 64 pencils/box = 18,432 pencils

Therefore, the total number of colored pencils in the display is 18,432 colored pencils.
