Nicholas buys 10 bags of lollies from a
supermarket.

a If there are 7 lollies in each bag, how
many lollies does he buy in total?

b If there are n lollies in each bag, how
many lollies does he buy in total?

Pls answer these I'm really stuck



Answer :

a) If there are 7 lollies in each bag, and Nicholas buys 10 bags, then the total number of lollies he buys is the product of the number of lollies per bag and the number of bags. So, we can calculate it as:

Total lollies = Number of lollies per bag × Number of bags

Total lollies = 7 lollies/bag × 10 bags

Total lollies = 70 lollies

So, Nicholas buys 70 lollies in total.

b) If there are \( n \) lollies in each bag, and Nicholas buys 10 bags, then the total number of lollies he buys is again the product of the number of lollies per bag and the number of bags. So, we can calculate it as:

Total lollies = Number of lollies per bag × Number of bags

Total lollies = \( n \) lollies/bag × 10 bags

Total lollies = \( 10n \) lollies

So, if there are \( n \) lollies in each bag, Nicholas buys \( 10n \) lollies in total.
