1 box = z nails
y boxes = yz nails...
1 carton = y boxes = yz nails
x cartons = xyz nails...
thus there are xyz nails.

Answer: the number of nails is xyz
Example:
3 cartoons contain 6 boxes each and each box contain 10 items. How many items are there all in all:
= 3 * 6 * 10
= 180
Reconciliation:
There are 18 boxes in all and if each box contains 10 items then there must be 180.

x times y times z ..you just multiply each amount to get the total amount. Example:
x = 4 cartons
y = 20 boxes in each
z = 50 nails in each
4 X 20 = 80 X 50 = 4000 nails
Vewwy simple.

It is simply X * Y * Z, otherwise written as XYZ. Take it as a fact of life and if you don't believe me, phone the maths police.

It's simply x times y times z - written "xyz".
ON THE OTHER HAND....... "What are the # of nails"...... I think the answer to that is the pointed end - as in the sharp - # - end of them ! ! !
