Rusty sold crafts at the local fair. He sold 8 birdhouses for $15 each and 6 mailboxes for $24 each.

The total amount he made from selling birdhouses is 8 x $15 = $120.

The total amount he made from selling mailboxes is 6 x $24 = $144.
Therefore, Rusty made a total of $120 + $144 = $264 from selling crafts at the local fair.
