Example Question #1892 : Operations

Find the sum of $\displaystyle 23$ and $\displaystyle 47$.

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 67$

$\displaystyle 60$

$\displaystyle 80$

$\displaystyle 76$

$\displaystyle 70$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 70$

Explanation:

To find the sum, we need to add the given numbers together.

Adding the ones place equals $\displaystyle 10$.

3+7=10 $\displaystyle 3+7=10$.

Carry the $\displaystyle 1$ to the tens place. Adding the tens place then equals $\displaystyle 7$.

1+2+4=7 $\displaystyle 1+2+4=7$

Together, this gives us $\displaystyle 70$.

$\displaystyle 23 + 47 = 70$

Explanation:

Add up the cost of the items.

$\displaystyle 1.50 + 3.85 + 2.30 = 7.65$

Amy will need $\small \$7.65$ $\displaystyle \small \$7.65$ to buy all three items.
