Carly recently graduated and is looking for work in a field she studied for. She sent 200 job applications to companies in her state, and twice that number to companies in other states. Calculate the total number of job applications she has sent so far. Let's answer step by step:
If she sent 200 job applications to her state, she sent 200 * 2 = 400 job applications to other states. The total number of job applications she has sent is 400 + 200 = 600. The answer: 600.
