Answer:

Boxes (in order): 7, 40, 100, 1215

Explanation:

This is a weird method of multiplication.

Its separating the 27 and 45 into 20, 7 and 40, 5 to multiply in stages.

This is what you should end up doing in your head later on at school.

You then expand the brackets so you multiply each number by 2 other numbers.

Then you add the 4 products to get the final product.

7 because 20 + 7 = 27

40 because its the only number only used once in that line.

100 because 20 x 5 = 100

And 1215 because 800 + 100 + 280 + 35 = 1215
