That's a confusing question.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2A12%2A8+=+384+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, I guess they want 2 different boxes whose
\n" ); document.write( "volumes are 20% more than the given box
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+384+%2B+.2%2A384+=+1.2%2A384+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.2%2A384+=+460.8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I think the thing to realize here is that if you
\n" ); document.write( "multiply any one of the 3 dimensions of the
\n" ); document.write( "original box by $\"+1.2+\"$ , you will get a

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8%2A1.2+=+9.6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "4 x 12 x 9.6 is a possible box
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+12%2A1.2+=+14.4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "4 x 14.4 x 8 is a possible box
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2A1.2+-+4.8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "4.8 x 12 x 8 is a possible box
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note all 3 give volume = 460.8 in3\r
