Answer:

63

Explanation:

In these 9 bags, each must have 7 gumdrops. So, we can add 7 nine times to itself. 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + ... = 63

OR HERE'S A FASTER WAY *WINK WINK*

Instead of doing repeated addition, we can multiply 7 and 9 together.

Why multiply?

We're going to multiply 7 x 9 so that it means seven gumdrops for each of nine bags.

7 x 9 = 63.
