#108#

#450 xx0.24#

Ignore the decimals and multiply the numbers as you would normally - usually by long division.

#450 xx24 = 10,800#

Now count how many decimal places you started with:

#450 xx 0color(blue)(.24)" "larr# there are #color(blue)(2)#

Put the same number in the answer. Remember to count a #0# as a place holder.

#450 xx 0.24 = 108color(blue)(.00)#

#=108#
