Question

In chef Locus Lime's baking contest, there are $16$ participants. Each participant has brought $25$ baked brownies. Find the total number of brownies in the contest.

• A. 400
• B. 450
• C. 250
• D. 200

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 with 25.


Now, multiply the tens digit of 16 with 25.


Finally, add $150$ and $250$ to get the product.


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

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