#12,650# tablets

Explanation:

When writing the equation out, always put the larger number on top. Then, multiply the numbers in the ones spot:

#6*5=30#

Under the line you put the #0# in the ones spot and add then put the #3# above the tens spot and add them to the next equation which is:

#6*7=42 +3 =45#

Now, keep multiplying along the #275# with #6# until there are no more numbers to multiply and then add the remaining numbers in front.
Repeat these steps with the #4# in #46# and put the numbers you get under the first numbers. Put a #0# or an X in the ones spot under. Add the two numbers together and now you got #12,650# tablets. See picture below:
