Solution

To find out how many more boxes of cookies Maureen needs to sell, we first need to add up how many boxes she has already sold.

She sold 9 boxes of lemon cookies to her aunt, 2 boxes of chocolate cookies to her mother, and 10 boxes of oatmeal cookies to a neighbor.

So, 9 (lemon) + 2 (chocolate) + 10 (oatmeal) = 21 boxes of cookies sold so far.

Maureen needs to sell a total of 68 boxes for the school fundraiser.

So, to find out how many more she needs to sell, we subtract the number of boxes she has already sold from the total number she needs to sell.

So, 68 (total boxes) - 21 (boxes already sold) = 47 boxes.

Therefore, Maureen needs to sell 47 more boxes of cookies.
