-------------
A gross is 12 dozen, = 144, continuing the American tradition of using tedious units of measure, like inches, feet, yards, ounces, fluid ounces, pounds, etc.
------------
Anyway, at $8 for 3, 144 is 48 times as many, so they'll cost
$8 times 48
= $384
------------
You should ask for a quantity discount.
