To find the total number of apples that Jim and Shey bought, we can calculate the number of apples they purchased separately and then add them together.
-
Calculate the number of apples Jim bought:
- Jim initially bought 4 bags of apples. Each bag contains 50 apples.
- Apples from initial bags: \(4 \text{ bags} \times 50 \text{ apples/bag} = 200 \text{ apples}\)
- Then, Jim decided to buy 2 more bags:
- Apples from additional bags: \(2 \text{ bags} \times 50 \text{ apples/bag} = 100 \text{ apples}\)
- Total apples that Jim bought: \(200 + 100 = 300 \text{ apples}\)
-
Calculate the number of apples Shey bought:
- Shey bought 6 bags of apples.
- Apples from Shey: \(6 \text{ bags} \times 50 \text{ apples/bag} = 300 \text{ apples}\)
-
Calculate the total number of apples bought by both:
- Total apples = Apples bought by Jim + Apples bought by Shey
- Total apples = \(300 \text{ apples} + 300 \text{ apples} = 600 \text{ apples}\)
Therefore, Jim and Shey bought a total of 600 apples.
