2. We need to find the total ounces of stuffing in 18 18 pillows.

STEP 2

1. Define the variable.
2. Set up the multiplication.
3. Calculate the total ounces.

STEP 3

Let x x be the total ounces of stuffing in 18 18 pillows.

STEP 4

Set up the multiplication to find the total ounces of stuffing:
x=18×9.27 x = 18 \times 9.27

STEP 5

Perform the multiplication:
x=18×9.27 x = 18 \times 9.27
First, multiply 18 18 by 9.27 9.27 :
\[ 18 \times 9.27 = 18 \times (9 + 0.27) $
\[ = 18 \times 9 + 18 \times 0.27 $
\[ = 162 + 4.86 $
\[ = 166.86 $
