Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Desmond bought 5 5 bags of candy.
2. Each bag contains 34 34 pieces of candy.
3. We need to calculate the total number of pieces of candy Desmond bought.

STEP 2

1. Define the variables.
2. Calculate the total number of pieces of candy.

STEP 3

Let b b be the number of bags of candy Desmond bought, and p p be the number of pieces of candy in each bag.
Given: b=5 b = 5 p=34 p = 34

STEP 4

To find the total number of pieces of candy, multiply the number of bags by the number of pieces per bag.
Total pieces of candy=b×p \text{Total pieces of candy} = b \times p

STEP 5

Substitute the given values into the equation:
Total pieces of candy=5×34 \text{Total pieces of candy} = 5 \times 34

STEP 6

Perform the multiplication:
5×34=170 5 \times 34 = 170
Desmond bought a total of:
170 pieces of candy\boxed{170 \text{ pieces of candy}}
