Im Figuring 10 Cases, But You Need 2 Extra Case At Least For Miscuts And Damaged Pieces.
Have You Installed This Before?
Here Is What Youll Need, Hammer,a Tapping Block, (this Is A Must) There Is A Installation Kit You Can By It Has A Flat Bar For Prying And A Tapping Block That Fits The Floor So You Dont Damage It.
You Will Also Need 2 Or 3 Rolls Of Padding To Go Under The Floor. I Think It Runs $25 Per Rolls.
Miter Saw, Jig Saw, Youll Also Need Some Type Of Jamb Saw For Undercutting Your Door Jambs. If You Dont Have An Electric One Just By You A Dove Tail Saw This Will Work Just Slower.
Also Make Sure You Keep It Off The Walls 1/4" For Expansion

By The Way The Math For You Question Is 200ft Divided By 20square Ft
20ft X 10ft Is 200square Ft
The Extra 2 Boxs Is Mainly For When You Damage One. There Easy To Do When You Tapping Them To Hard. The Tapping Block Needs To Have Alot Of Pressure On It So Hold It Tight To The Board So It Doesnt Move,
I Also Try And Figure To Use The Cut Offs To Start Another Row.
Its Easier To Just Take Back The Extra Than Not Have Enough The First Time.
Good Luck
