Carotene can enforce the contract to the extent of the ten accepted cartons as that is the amount that was delivered and accepted. Since the order was placed orally, it may be harder to prove the terms of the contract, but the fact that ten cartons were accepted and delivered shows that there was an agreement between the parties for at least that amount.
