1. **State the problem:** Isabella packed beads into 36 bags. Each bag contains 24 red beads, 15 purple beads, and 18 pink beads. We need to find the total number of beads packed. 2. **Formula and explanation:** To find the total beads, first find the total beads in one bag by adding the beads of each color, then multiply by the number of bags. 3. **Calculate beads per bag:** $$24 + 15 + 18 = 57$$ beads per bag. 4. **Calculate total beads:** $$57 \times 36 = 2052$$ beads. 5. **Answer:** Isabella packed **2052 beads** altogether.
