Answer:

$216.

Explanation:

Divide for the cost of 1 sweater, 72 divided 8, $9.

Divide $288 by 8, to get cost they sold each sweater, $36.

So the store sold each sweater $36 having bought each for $9.

Subtract $9 from $36 to get profit per sweater, $27.

Then multiply $27 by 8 for the total profit, $216.
