undefined Great question! Let's think through this step by step.

1. **How many lollipops are in one bag?**  
   You said there are 50 lollipops in one bag.

2. **How many bags do we have?**  
   You have 12 bags.

3. **Now, we need to find out how many lollipops are in all the bags together.**  
   To do this, we can multiply the number of lollipops in one bag by the number of bags.

4. **So, we set it up like this:**  
   $ 50 \text{ lollipops/bag} \times 12 \text{ bags} $

5. **Now, let’s do the math:**  
   What is $ 50 \times 12 $?  
   Can you break it down? Maybe think of it as $ 50 \times 10 $ and then $ 50 \times 2 $?

6. **Can you try that calculation?**  
   What do you find?

#"600 lollipops"#

According to the question

#"50 lollipops = 1 bag"#

Divide both sides by #"50 lollipops"#

We get

#1 = "50 lollipops"/"bag"#

Multiplying a number with #"50 lollipops"/"bag"# is equivalent to multiplying it with 1

#"Number of lollipops in 12 bags" = 12 cancel"bags" × "50 lollipops"/cancel"bag" = "600 lollipops"#

undefined To find the total number of lollipops in 12 bags, you multiply the number of lollipops in one bag by the number of bags.

$$ \text{Total lollipops} = \text{Number of lollipops per bag} \times \text{Number of bags} $$

Given that there are 50 lollipops in one bag and you have 12 bags, you can calculate:

$$ \text{Total lollipops} = 50 \times 12 $$

$$ \text{Total lollipops} = 600 $$

So, there are 600 lollipops in 12 bags.
