The total number of pencils that is available all together = 684 pencils.

Number of boxes of pencils found = 12

Each box contains = 12 pencils

The total number of students = 54

Each student brought = 10 pencils

The total number of pencils all together = Total number of pencils from all students + total number of pencils in all boxes

Total number of pencils in all boxes:


\begin{gathered} =\text{ 12}*\text{ 12} \\ =\text{ 144 pencils} \end{gathered}

Total number of pencils from all students:


\begin{gathered} =\text{ 54 }*10 \\ =\text{ 540 pencils} \end{gathered}

The total number of pencils all together = 144 + 540

The total number of pencils that is available all together = 684 pencils
