1 Pack = 20 Cigarettes
1 Carton = 10 Packs = 200 Cigarettes
Converting Cigarette Quantities
To convert packs to individual cigarettes, multiply the number of packs by 20.
Packs × 20 = Cigarettes
To find how many cartons a quantity of cigarettes represents, divide the total count by 200.
Cigarettes ÷ 200 = Cartons
