Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’re multiplying money amounts (dollars and cents) by whole numbers. Remember: when you multiply, treat the dollar amount like a regular number, then put the dollar sign and decimal point back in the right place.

Problem 1: $5.78 × 8
Think of it as 578 cents × 8 = 4624 cents → which is $46.24
Or do it directly:
5.78
× 8
------
Start from right:
8 × 8 = 64 → write down 4, carry 6
8 × 7 = 56 + 6 = 62 → write down 2, carry 6
8 × 5 = 40 + 6 = 46 → write down 46
So: 46.24 →
$46.24
---
Problem 2: $2.57 × 9
2.57
× 9
------
9 × 7 = 63 → write 3, carry 6
9 × 5 = 45 + 6 = 51 → write 1, carry 5
9 × 2 = 18 + 5 = 23 → write 23
→ 23.13 →
$23.13
---
Problem 3: $9.21 × 4
9.21
× 4
------
4 × 1 = 4
4 × 2 = 8
4 × 9 = 36
→ 36.84 →
$36.84
---
Problem 4: $7.45 × 4
7.45
× 4
------
4 × 5 = 20 → write 0, carry 2
4 × 4 = 16 + 2 = 18 → write 8, carry 1
4 × 7 = 28 + 1 = 29 → write 29
→ 29.80 →
$29.80
---
Problem 5: $4.67 × 3
4.67
× 3
------
3 × 7 = 21 → write 1, carry 2
3 × 6 = 18 + 2 = 20 → write 0, carry 2
3 × 4 = 12 + 2 = 14 → write 14
→ 14.01 →
$14.01
---
Problem 6: $2.56 × 1
Anything times 1 is itself →
$2.56
---
Problem 7: $8.13 × 2
8.13
× 2
------
2 × 3 = 6
2 × 1 = 2
2 × 8 = 16
→ 16.26 →
$16.26
---
Problem 8: $6.34 × 2
6.34
× 2
------
2 × 4 = 8
2 × 3 = 6
2 × 6 = 12
→ 12.68 →
$12.68
---
Problem 9: $4.22 × 6
4.22
× 6
------
6 × 2 = 12 → write 2, carry 1
6 × 2 = 12 + 1 = 13 → write 3, carry 1
6 × 4 = 24 + 1 = 25 → write 25
→ 25.32 →
$25.32
