We are to find the number of pieces of candies that are made per year.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

Number of pieces of candies in a 5 pound bag = 2500

So, the number of pieces of candies in 4.7 million bags will be

$2500\times4.7=11750~\textup{million}=11750\times1000000=11750000000.$

Since 4.7 million bags are made per year, so the number of pieces of candies that are made per year is 11,750,000,000.

Thus, the required number of pieces of candies made per year is 11,750,000,000.
