00:06 Let's start by adding ones with ones

00:09 Place the ones, and remember 1 to carry up

00:12 Add tens with tens, remember to add 1 to the calculation

00:19 Place the tens in tens place, and carry 1 to hundreds

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll use vertical addition as follows:

Step 1: Arrange the numbers vertically with the place values aligned.

   $26$ 
+  $74$ 
 $\underline{\phantom{776}}$

Step 2: Add the numbers starting from the ones column:
- Add the ones place: $6 + 4 = 10$ . Write down $0$ and carry over $1$ to the tens column.

   $26$ 
+  $74$ 
 $\underline{\phantom{776}}$ 
   $00$

Step 3: Move to the tens column: Add $2 + 7 = 9$ , then add the carried over $1$ to get $10$ .
- Write down $10$ .

      $26$ 
  +  $74$ 
   $\underline{\phantom{6707}}$ 
   $100$

Therefore, the sum of $26$ and $74$ is $100$ .

The correct answer amongst the choices provided is :

100

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $100$ .
