Given

11 boxes of marbles ordered
6 bags is inside each bag of marbles
45 marbles is inside each bags

Let X be the total bags of marbles the shop ordered

X= 11 boxes ordered x 6 bags of marbles per box
X= 66 bags of marbles (canceling the unit of boxes and being replaced of bags)

The shop orders 66 bags of marbles (11x6)

- The part where it says "Each bag contains 45 marbles" is unnecessary information since the problem doesn't ask "how many marbles...", they are just trying to confuse you.
