#91356/10# or #9 135.6#

We can start by rewriting these numbers as fractions.

#99.3 times 92 = 993/10 times 92/1#

Now we can multiply,

#((900 times 90 + 900 times 2) + (90times90 + 90 times 2) + (3 times 90 + 3times 2))/10#

#=((81000 + 1800) +(8100 + 180) +(270 + 6))/10#

#=(82800+8280+276)/10#

#=91356/10#

to write as a decimal we need to move the decimal point one place to the left, because the number is divided by a #10# to the power one.

#91356/10 = 9135.6#
