Answer:

285 boxes are in the display

Explanation:

Given

Top layer box = 1

Last row box = 81

From the question, every row is a square and the bottom layer has 81 squares.

And 81 = 9²

The next row has 1 less than the previous row and that is 8²

Then, 7², 6² till ....... 1²

So we can say that cubes in the rows as that

Sum of all Squares = 9² + 8² + 7² + 6² + 5² + 4² + 3² + 2² + 1²

Sum of all Square = 81 + 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 +1 = 285

So, the total number of boxes in display are 285 boxes
