The price of a new toy is $27. During the first week, the number of toys sold at a local store is tracked. What are the total sales of the toy during the first week if 477 toys are sold?
If 477 toys are sold and they each cost $27 then you times 477 by 27(because you could add 27 to 27 477 times but that would take forever and this is the equivalent of that)
