If the two men each bought 30 apples, together they bought 2*30 = <<2*30=60>>60 apples.

Since the two men each bought 30 apples, 20 less than the total number of apples bought by each woman, each woman bought 20+30 = <<20+30=50>>50 apples.

The total number of apples bought by the women is 3*50 = <<3*50=150>>150

Altogether, the two men and three women bought 60+150 = <<60+150=210>>210 apples.
