Add 1875 and 358.

1875 + 358 = 2233. Above the tens, hundreds, and thousands columns are carried ones.

5 + 8 = 13 Write 3, carry 1 ten. 1 + 7 + 5 = 13 Write 3, carry 1 hundred. 1 + 8 + 3 = 12 Write 2, carry 1 thousand. 1 + 1 = 2

The sum is 2233.

Add 89,208 and 4,946.

89,208 + 4,946 = 94,154. Above the tens, thousands, and ten-thousands columns are carried ones.

8 + 6 = 14 Write 4, carry 1 ten. 1 + 0 + 4 = 5 Write the 5 (nothing to carry). 2 + 9 = 11 Write 1, carry one thousand. 1 + 9 + 4 = 14 Write 4, carry one ten thousand. 1 + 8 = 9

The sum is 94,154.

Add 38 and 95.

38 + 95 = 133. Above the tens and the hundreds columns are carried ones.

8 + 5 = 13 Write 3, carry 1 ten. 1 + 3 + 9 = 13 Write 3, carry 1 hundred. 1 + 0 = 1

As you proceed with the addition, it is a good idea to keep in mind what is actually happening.

38 + 95, which is separated into 3 tens + 8 ones over 9 tens + 5 ones. The sum is 12 tens + 13 ones, which is equal to 12 tens + 1 ten + 3 ones, which simplifies to 13 tens + 3 ones, which is equal to 1 hundred + 3 tens + 3 ones, which equals 133.

The sum is 133.

Find the sum 2648, 1359, and 861.

2648 + 1359 + 861 = 4868. Above the tens, hundreds, and thousands columns are carried ones.

8 + 9 + 1 = 18 Write 8, carry 1 ten. 1 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 16 Write 6, carry 1 hundred. 1 + 6 + 3 + 8 = 18 Write 8, carry 1 thousand. 1 + 2 + 1 = 4

The sum is 4,868.

Numbers other than 1 can be carried as illustrated in [link] .

Find the sum of the following numbers.

878016 + 9905 + 38951 + 56817 = 983689. Above the tens column is a carried one. Above the thousands column is a carried 2. Above the ten-thousands column is a carried 3. Above the hundred-thousands column is a carried 1.

6 + 5 + 1 + 7 = 19 Write 9, carry the 1. 1 + 1 + 0 + 5 + 1 = 8 Write 8. 0 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 26 Write 6, carry the 2. 2 + 8 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 33 Write 3, carry the 3. 3 + 7 + 3 + 5 = 18 Write 8, carry the 1. 1 + 8 = 9 Write 9.

The sum is 983,689.

The number of students enrolled at Riemann College in the years 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987 was 10,406, 9,289, 10,108, and 11,412, respectively. What was the total number of students en­rolled at Riemann College in the years 1985, 1986, and 1987?

We can determine the total number of students enrolled by adding 9,289, 10,108, and 11,412, the number of students enrolled in the years 1985, 1986, and 1987.

9,289 + 10,108 + 11,412 = 30,809. Above the tens, hundreds, and ten-thousands columns are carried ones.

The total number of students enrolled at Riemann College in the years 1985, 1986, and 1987 was 30,809.

Practice set b

Perform each addition. For the next three problems, show the expanded form.

Add 58 and 29.

87

Vertical addition.  5 tens + 8 ones, over 2 tens + 9 ones = 7 tens + 17 ones.

= 7 tens + 1 ten + 7 ones = 8 tens + 7 ones = 87

Add 476 and 85.

561

4 hundreds + 7 tens + 6 ones over 8 tens + 5 ones = 4 hundreds + 15 tens + 11 ones.

= 4 hundreds + 15 tens + 1 ten + 1 one = 4 hundreds + 16 tens + 1 one = 4 hundreds + 1 hundred + 6 tens + 1 one = 5 hundreds + 6 tens + 1 one = 561

Add 27 and 88.

115

Vertical addition. 2 tens + 7 ones, over 8 tens + 8 ones = 10 tens + 15 ones.

= 10 tens + 1 ten + 5 ones = 11 tens + 5 ones = 1 hundred + 1 ten + 5 ones = 115

Add 67,898 and 85,627.

Calculators

Calculators provide a very simple and quick way to find sums of whole numbers. For the two problems in Sample Set C, assume the use of a calculator that does not require the use of an ENTER key (such as many Hewlett-Packard calculators).

Sample set c

Use a calculator to find each sum.

34 + 21 size 12{"34"+"21"} {} Display Reads
Type 34 34
Press + 34
Type 21 21
Press = 55

The sum is 55.
