25 times 11 is 275

I got to 293.
Using the number of letters in the words 'apple' and 'apples', then adding the actual numbers on.
1 x 5(apple) = 5
5 x 6(apples) = 30
11 x 6(apples) = 66
25 x 6(apples) = 150
Hence 42 + 251 = 293.

Gotta be worth half a pint.

Ironside, you've become a Greengrocer who's ordered more apples than you can sell, admit it
