Question

Mariah makes bead necklaces. Beads are packaged in bags of 50 and bags of 200. Mariah bought 4 bags of 50 beads and 3 bags of 200 beads. How many beads did Mariah buy?

Answer 1

4 bags * 50 beads=200 beads
3 bags*200 beads=600 beads
200 beads+600 beads=800 beads in all

maraih bought 800 beads in all

Answer 2

Since she bought 4 bags of 50 beads and 3 bags of 200 beads you only need to use two operations: multiply and add. 4 x 50 is 200 3 x 200 is 600 600 + 200 = 800 Mariah purchase 800 beads in total.
