    You just have to figure out how many cartons are examined per shipment and then you can just multiply by 10. For every 100 cartons, 2 are examined for damage. If we examine 1000 cartons (100 x 10 cartons) then we examine 20 cartons (2 x 10 cartons). Now, there are 10 shipments and since each shipment has 1000 cartons and we examine 20 cartons per shipment we simply multiply the number of cartons examined per shipment (20 cartons) by the number of shipments (10 cartons).
