Calculate the Sum: Solving 94 + 72 Step by Step

Question

$94+72=$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's use the distribution law

00:07 Let's break down 94 into 90 plus 4

00:12 Let's break down 72 into 70 plus 2

00:19 Let's use the commutative law and arrange the exercise in a convenient way to solve

00:35 Let's solve one addition operation at a time

00:43 And this is the solution to the question

In order to simplify the calculation , we first break down 94 and 72 into smaller and preferably round numbers.

We obtain the following exercise:

$90+4+70+2=$

Using the associative property, we then rearrange the exercise to be more functional.

$90+70+4+2=$

We solve the exercise in the following way, first the round numbers and then the small numbers.

$90+70=160$

$4+2=6$

Which results in the following exercise:

$160+6=166$

166
