Question

Sandy buys 12 packets of chocolates. Each packet contains 6 chocalates. The total number of chocolates that Sandy buys is ___.

• A. 82
• B. 74
• C. 62
• D. 72

Answer 1

The correct option is D 72

Number of chocolates in 1 packet = 6
Number of chocolate packets that Sandy buys = 12

Total number of chocolates = 6 x 12

We split 12 as 10 and 2, and then multiply 6 by both of them.

12 = 10 + 2

6 x 10 = 60
6 x 2 = 12

60 + 12 = 72

Thus, 6 x 12 = 72

The total number of chocolates that Sandy buys is 72.
