The answer is 792 because, we know that there is 24 calories in each bar, so, when calculating total amount of, you wan to multiply that amount by however many bars there are. The reason you multiply is because(using this example) when you have a bar with 24 calories and another bar with the same amount, you just add the two calorie amounts together, or 24 + 24. Since you have 33 bars, you would do that 33 times, which is the same as 24 x 33. So if you calculate 24 x 33, you get 792. Another way to solve this is you can use the formula x=cb where x is the total amount of calories, c is the number of calories in one bar, and b is how many bars you have.
