Question

Chef's Locus Lime baking contest is underway. This year the baking contest has $16$ participants. Each participant has brought $25$ baked brownies with them. As a judge, chef Locus Lime has to taste every single brownie to make sure that all the brownies are baked to perfection. Find the total number of brownies in the contest.

• A. 400

Answer 1

The correct option is A 400
Number of brownies each participant brings $=25$
Total number of participants $=16$
Total number of brownies $=25\times 16$

The product $25\times 16$ can be evaluated as:

First, we need to multiply the units digit of $16$, i.e., $6$ with $25$.


Now, we would multiply the tens digit of $16$, i.e., $1$ with $25$.


Finally, we would now add $150$ and $250$ to get the answer.


$25\times 16$ brownies $=400$ brownies

Total number of brownies in the contest $=400$ brownies
