Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We start by multiplying the ones digits: 
3 x 3 = 9

Then we move to the tens digits: 
3 x 9 = 27

We write the 7 below and carry the 2:

Now we multiply the hundreds digits: 
3 x 3 = 9

Then we add the carried 2: 
2 + 9 = 11

We write the 1 below and carry the other 1:

Finally, we add the carried 1 and multiply the thousands digits: 
1 + 3 = 4 
4 x 2 = 8

We get the answer: 
$\begin{array} { r } 
393  \
203 \
\hline
79,779  \
\end{array}$

Therefore, the best choice is E.
