The school bought 243 bags of candy for the party. Each bag has 35 pieces of candy. How many total pieces of candy do they have?

Answer 1

To find the total number of pieces of candy, we need to multiply the number of bags of candy by the number of pieces in each bag.

Total pieces of candy = Number of bags × Pieces per bag

In this case:

Total pieces of candy = 243 bags × 35 pieces/bag

Now, we can perform the multiplication:

\[ 243 \times 35 = 8505 \]

Therefore, the school has a total of 8505 pieces of candy for the party.
