As simple as this is, it's hilarious that so many people are adamant about 2.

But really, it's partly a syntax issue that doesn't make it as clear as it should. That being said, I've seen problems written like this in algebra I textbooks.

Exactly. But given the syntax the answer is 288. If using syntax with software like Maple, the problem can be written in clearer form, but since that is not the case, and there is no applied context, one should just solve what is in front of them.
