  4. Lets see,
    24x57=1368
    20x50=1000
    50x4=200
    20x7=140
    4x7=28

    100+200+140+28=1368

    Yes, you do have enough pencils because first, I multiply 5x4=14 and 7x2+2=16 (168). Then, I multiply 4x5=20 and 2x5=10 (120). Lastly, I add 168+120=1,368. Don't forget to send a yearbook for me!
