If 1 carton is 10 boxes, then 4 cartons of ballons will be 40 boxes.

• 40 boxes → x packages. // multiply 40 boxes by 10 packages and divide by 1 box.

If 1 box is 10 packages, then 40 boxes will be 400 packages.

• 1 package → 10 balloons

If 1 package is 10 ballons, 400 packages will be 4000 balloons.
