Answer:

The answer is 4000 balloons.

Explanation:

Using the rule of three:

  • 1 carton → 10 boxes
  • 4 cartons → x boxes. // multiply 4 carton by 10 boxes and divide by 1 carton

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

  • 1 box → 10 packages
  • 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
  • 400 packages → x balloons. // multiply 400 packages by 10 ballons and divide by 1 package.

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