The question is about calculating portions of an unknown total of milk cartons sold in fractions, but lacks the total number needed for a specific solution. It's a mathematics problem that involves applying fractions to find portions of a total number, a key skill in middle school math. ;

To solve the problem of how many cartons of milk Mervin originally had, we represent that number as x . After determining the cartons sold in each phase, we find that 10 7 ​ x were sold in total, and 10 3 ​ x remain, but we need the exact number of remaining cartons to find x .
