Help with Excel - Calculating 2 cells based on the text within another

Hello ! I hope someone can help me 🙂

 

My issue is, I need to calculate the multiplication of 2 cells, when a completely different cell returns a specific text.

 

Eg: 

Cell A = 10

Cell B = 5

Cell C = HAT

Cell D = (this is the cell I want to run the calculation of Cell A* Cell B - but only if Cell C = HAT

 

if Cell C were to = "Trousers" I would not want the calculation to occur.

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated !!!
