To find out how many gifts were donated in total, we need to consider the number of families that participated and the number of gifts each family donated. According to the problem:

- Each family donated 4 gifts.
- 12 families participated in the toy drive.

Let's write an equation where:
- [tex]\( g \)[/tex] represents the total number of gifts donated.

Since each of the 12 families donated 4 gifts, the total number of gifts donated can be calculated by multiplying the number of families by the number of gifts each family donated:

[tex]\[ g = 4 \times 12 \][/tex]

Now, let's solve this equation:

[tex]\[ g = 48 \][/tex]

Therefore, a total of 48 gifts were donated.
