The answer depends on how advanced your methods are. In general, the methods are the same except that if you have repeating decimals, they may cause rounding errors.
Coefficients don't 'stand' for anything. They are numbers which multiply variables. For instance, in the expression 3 x + 2, three is the coefficient of x.
To find the product of 4c and 3c, you multiply the coefficients (4 and 3) together to get 12. Then you multiply the variables (c and c) together to get c^2. Therefore, the result of 4c times 3c is 12c^2.
To find the product of 2xy and x, you multiply the coefficients (2 and 1) to get 2, then multiply the variables x and x to get x^2, and finally multiply the variables y and 1 to get y. Therefore, the result of 2xy times x is 2x^2y.
