Question

Last year 387 people were at the hobby show. This year, ten times more people came. How many people came this year?

Answer 1

All you need to do to get the answer is multiplication.

Since it said ten times as, that means you multiply the original number, 387, by 10.

Observe:

387×10

387×10=3870.

Answer 2

people this year = 10* people last year

people this year = 10* 387

people this year = 3870
