Since each bucket contained 500 berries and there are 5 buckets we can find the total amount of berries by multiplying the number of berries per bucket by the number of buckets. This is done below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{total}=500\cdot5 \\ \text{total}=2500\text{ berries} \end{gathered}[/tex]Sally picked 2500 blueberries.
