180

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beggining, it says they are stacked in 5 layers which means the number of cubes is divisible by 5.

If the number of cubes equals x:

The least amount of sugar cubes the Jones family could have used is 61*2 which equals 122. The most they couldve used is 61*3 which equals 183.

Based on the information from the Jones family, x is between 122 and 183.

Based on the information from the Connor's, x is between 176 and 264.

Based on the information from both, x is between 176 and 183. The only number that is divisible by 5 between those numbers is 180 cubes.
