So you have 65 2x4s is one delivery you have a total of 8 delivery spots
2 staging areas and 4 different job sites so 65 x8 equals you can figure the res I'm sure
To calculate the total number of 2x4s needed for both staging areas and all job sites, you would first multiply the number of 2x4s needed for one delivery by the total number of deliveries, which is 8:

65 * 8 = 520 2x4s

You can use the same method to calculate the total number of 2x8s and 2x10s needed:

45 * 8 = 360 2x8s
25 * 8 = 200 2x10s
