Recall that:

[tex]a\times n=\underbrace{a+a+\cdots+a\,}_{$ n $\text{ times}}.[/tex]

Since the pet store has k tanks with 26 fish on each tank, then the pet store has:

[tex]\underbrace{26+26+\cdots+26\,}_{k\text{ times}}[/tex]

fish in total.

Now, notice that:

[tex]\underbrace{26+26+\cdots+26\,}_{k\text{ times}}=26\times k=26k.[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]26k.[/tex]
