No. of letters received by President Clinton in the year 1993 is

#color(brown)(9, 125, 000#

Explanation:

Year 1993 is not a leap year.

Hence the number of days in 1993 = 365 days.

No. of letters received on one day = 25,000.

No. of letters received on 365 days = 25,000 * 365 = 9,125,000#

#9,125,000# letters were received by President during #1993#.

Explanation:

#1993# was not a leap year and hence, there were #365# days in the year.

He received #25000# letters per day on an average. Hence,

total number of letters received by him during te entire year is #25,000# multiplied by #365#. For this we multiply in stages, first by #5#, then by #6# (shifting digits one place to left, as it is in tens place) and finally by #3# (shifting digits one place to left as it is in hundreds place) as follows.

#color(white)(XXXXXXXXX)25,000#

#color(white)(XXXXXXXxxx)ul(xx365)#
#color(white)(XXXXXXxxX)125,000#
#color(white)(XXxxxxxxx)1,500,00#
#color(white)(xxxxxxxxX)ul(7,500,0color(white)(xxx))#
#color(white)(XXXXXXX)ul(9,125,000color(white)(x))#
