x and y, dimensions of each small photograph.

The large photographs each have dimensions 2x and 2y.

Small photograph area: xy=24.

Large photograph area: %282x%29%282y%29
or
2x%2A2y
2%2A2%2Ax%2Ay
4xy.

You were given 24=xy for the area of the small photograph.

4%2Axy=4%2A24=highlight%2896%29, area of each large photograph.
