195.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of boxes of cookies sold.

We have been given that Emily sold 40% of the total number of boxes sold for the fundraiser.

The number of boxes sold for fundraiser would be \frac{40}{100}x=0.40x.

Since 78 boxes of cookies were sold for the fundraiser, so we can represent this information in an equation as:

0.40x=78

\frac{0.40x}{0.40}=\frac{78}{0.40}

x=195

Therefore, 195 boxes were sold in total.
