My answer came out to be 496.
The Problem was (4.00)(6.2)(20.00)=496
What is the answer with the correct sig figs. Shouldn't it have just 2 (b/c of the 6.2)? What would the answer be?

the result should have 2 sig figs which 5.0 x 10²
or 500 with the second zero from the digit 5 denoted with a little bar on top of it
with division or multiplication the result should have as many sig figs as the number with the least number of sif figs.
with addition and subtraction the result should the number of "decimal places" as that of the one with the smallest number of decimal places

the lowest amount of decimals in multiplying number is to be used
so 6.2
so the answer should have 1 digit after the decimal
so 6.2

the answer is 4.7 x 10^2
when multiplying you use the smallest sig figs in total this case it was 6.2
