Answer:

31.15

Explanation:

Step 1: Setup

Set up your multiplication problem like this:

8 9

x 3 5

Step 2: Multiply

9 x 5 = 45. Put 5 below the line and 4 as a reminder on top:

4

8 9

x 3 5

5

Step 3: Multiply

5 x 8 = 40. Take 40 and add 4 from the previous step to get 44. Enter 44 at the bottom:

8 9

x 3 5

4 4 5

Step 4: Add 0

Enter a 0 at the bottom right as a place holder, because you now move over one digit:

8 9

x 3 5

4 4 5

+ 0

Step 5: Multiply

3 x 9 = 27. Put 7 below the line and 2 as a reminder on top:

2

8 9

x 3 5

4 4 5

+ 7 0

Step 6: Multiply

3 x 8 = 24. Take 24 and add 2 from the previous step to get 26. Enter 26 at the bottom:

8 9

x 3 5

4 4 5

+ 2 6 7 0

Step 7: Add to get answer

Add up the bottom two numbers (445 + 2670 = 3115) to get the answer:

8 9

x 3 5

4 4 5

+ 2 6 7 0

= 3 1 1 5

The bottom line is the answer. Therefore, 89 times 35 equals (move decimal place left two places)
