Figuring flooring

Laminate flooring comes in five "feet" lengths.  The bedrooms are 3 "five" feet lengths, with around 18 board widths in one room and 22 board widths in the other.  So two bedrooms should take approximately 120 boards.  Then the closets can take partial pieces, probably around 10 per room. 

Total boards needed? Around 140 boards.  

8 boards per box with 18 boxes left — total number of boards144.   There is always a 10% error ratio (at least that is what we are told).  Can we skimp and make up two boxes along the way?  Or do you buy two more boxes?  Or are we thinking too much?

Such are the late night ponderings of the renovators!!
