It's simple!!!!!!! 11 cartons total 7 large boxes (7 * 8 = 56 boxes) 4 small boxes (4 10 = 40 boxes) 11 total cartons and 96 boxes

The format given is A.B So, A is difference of large and small boxes = 96 So, B is number of cartons = 11 SO THE ANSWER IS 96.11

Wouldn't the difference of large and small boxes be 7-4 = 3?
