After initially calculating the total number of apples as 1496, and then adding 6 apples to each basket, the new total of apples becomes 2024. This involves simple multiplication and addition. Each of the 88 baskets now contains 23 apples.
;
First, let's find out the number of apples in all the baskets before adding the additional apples. There are 88 baskets with 17 apples each. This can be calculated using multiplication:
88 × 17 = 1496
So, initially, in all 88 baskets, there are 1,496 apples.
Next, we are told that 6 more apples are added to each basket. We need to calculate how many apples in total are being added.
Since each of the 88 baskets will receive 6 more apples, this is also found by multiplication:
88 × 6 = 528
Now, we add the newly added apples to the initial total to find out the overall total number of apples:
1496 + 528 = 2024
Therefore, after adding 6 more apples to each basket, there are a total of 2,024 apples.
