    Answer:
    Number of soap bars that can be packed in 1 carton = 85
    Number of soap bars that can be packed in 2 cartons = 2 × 85
    = 170
    Number of soap bars that can be packed in 3 cartons = 3 × 85
    = 255
    Number of soap bars that can be packed in 4 cartons = 4 × 85
    = 340
    If we take 3 cartons, then we can pack only 255 soap bars.
    Thus, Shally will need 4 cartons to pack 338 soap bars.
