The jewellery manufacturer bought 700 boxes, each of which had 50 clasps. Multiply 700 by 50.

First, multiply 7 and 5.

7 × 5 = 35

Now count the zeroes in both numbers.

700 × 50 = ?

There are 3 zeroes in all. Write 3 zeroes after 35.

700 × 50 = 35,000

The jewellery manufacturer bought 35,000 gold clasps.

There were 50 boxes, each of which had 90 chocolates. Multiply 50 by 90.

First, multiply 5 and 9.

5 × 9 = 45

Now count the zeroes in both numbers.

50 × 90 = ?

There are 2 zeroes in all. Write 2 zeroes after 45.

50 × 90 = 4,500

Baldwin bought 4,500 chocolates.

The factory makes 3 flavours, and it makes 4,000 pieces of each flavour. Multiply 3 by 4,000.

First, multiply the non-zero parts of the numbers:

3 × 4 = 12

Now add back the zeroes at the end:

12,000

The factory makes 12,000 pieces of candy each day.
