You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let c = cartons
3864/c = 0.4/1
Can you solve for c now?
========================
I received your reply.
Let c = cartons
3864/c = 0.4/1
We cross-multiply to find c.

c times 0.4 = 3864 times 1

0.4c = 3864

We now divide both sides by 0.4 to find c, which is our cartons.

c = 3864/0.4

c = 9660 cartons
