Problem Solving

I completed a math problem using place value 

I first highlighted the keywords that are in the problem which was: A candy store put 8 jars of lollies for a guessing competition. Each jar contained 76 lollies. How many lollies are there altogether?

The first step was to multiplied the ones. 8 x 6 = 48.

Next I multiplied the tens. 56 x 10 = 560

Afterwards I combined both answers altogether. 560 + 48 = 608.

I was struggling a little bit because the questions was to big to solve and to figure out the answer but in the end I found out what the answer was.
