Solve problems involving addition

Example 1

The table shows the number of books in libraries in three towns.
What is the total number of books in all these 3 libraries?

                    Towns                    Number of books

                 Kota Ehsan                      285 176

Asked for  :           Total number of books

Operation  :            Addition

Solve

                  285 176  +  9 546  +  174 095  =  
                                 
                                              11   21               
                                              285 176 
                                                  9 546
                                          +  174 095  
                                        ____________
                                              468 817
                                        ____________  




  Check                                 11   21               
                                              285 176 
                                                  9 546
                                          +  174 095  
                                        ____________
                                              468 817
                                        ____________  

 
                             285 176  +  9 546  +  174 095  =  468 817

                                The total number of books is 468 817




Let's practise


1.  A post office received 93 152 letters to be delivered in June and 347 018 letters to be delivered  
     in July. How many letters did the post office receive in June and July?

2.  The number of vehicles that passed through the Saga Toll Plaza in three weeks was 334 825, 440
      937 and 141 783. Find the total number of vehicles that passed through the plaza in the three   
      weeks.
