Question

The 54${}^{th}$ Alien Literary festival was held at Novoca-II. Addison needs several pens. So, she had an array of pens and now she had to take stock of the total pens. If one box contains $1,286$ pens, there are pens in 24 boxes

Answer 1

Number of pens in one box $=1,286$
Number of boxes $=24$
Total number of pens $1286\times 24$

This can be evaluated as follows:

First we multiply $1286$ with the ones digit of 24


Followed by the multiplication with the tens place value of $24$ which is $2$:


Now, we will add it up:


So, total pens $=1286\times 24=30,864$
