I'm going to assume you meant crayon instead of can:

First step is to find how many boxes she/he has left.

30 - 10 = 20

So the teacher has 20 boxes left;

Now, knowing that each box has 16 crayons, then we simply multiply the 20 by 16 to find the total number of crayons left over:

20 x 16 = 320

So the art teacher has 320 crayons left over.

Hope this helps!
