A club has 36 members. If each member donates 12 items for an auction, how many items will there be in the auction?

To determine the total number of items for the auction, you need to multiply the number of members in the club by the number of items each member donates. Here, there are 36 members and each member donates 12 items.

The calculation is straightforward:

36 members × 12 items/member = 432 items.

This means that the total number of items that will be available for the auction is 432. Thus, the correct answer reflects the result of this multiplication, confirming that all members' contributions are counted toward the total for the auction.
