This problem as it is written makes no sense.
Are you sure you copied it correctly?

Use a calculator to multiply the numbers, and you will see that the answers are way off.
If you want, you can even estimate the product, and that will also show you the two answers are way off.
Why would anyone think of changing a multiplication into a sum or a product of random numbers?
