Kamal bought 7 packs of paper clips for a project. then he bought 8 more packs. there are 25 paper clips in each pack. how many paper clips did he buy?

He bought 375 paper clips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial number of packs of paper clips = 7,

Also, the additional number of packs of paper clips = 8,

So, the total number of packs of paper clips = 7 + 8 = 15,

Now, the number of paper clips in each pack = 25,

Hence, the total number of paper clips = number of paper clips in each pack × total packs

= 25 × 15

= 375
