Multiplication is a arithmetic operation such that two real numbers are performed in such a way that they derive a third number called product.

Procedure used:

The following steps are involved to find the value of \(y\text{ unit}\) where \(y\) is any real number.

1) If one unit is equal to \(x\) then multiply \(y\) with \(x\).

2) The resultant number would be \(xy\) is the value of \(y\text{ unit}\).

Given:

Jenny charges \(\$\ 9.15\) an hour to babysit toddlers and \(\$\ 7.45\) an hour to babysit school-aged children. She babysat toddlers for \(9\text{ hours}\) and school aged children for \(6\text{ hours}\).
