Examples with solutions for Vertical Addition: Addition of 3-digit and 2-digit numbers with the regrouping of tens

Exercise #1

amp;178+amp;amp;  12amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &178 \\ +& \\ &~~12 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will perform vertical addition:

  • Step 1: Write the numbers vertically, aligning by place value. We have 178 on top and 12 below.
  • Step 2: Start by adding the units column: 8+2=108 + 2 = 10. Write 0 below the line and carry over 1 to the next column.
  • Step 3: Move to the tens column. Add 7+1=87 + 1 = 8 from 178 and the carry over 1, which equals 8+1=98 + 1 = 9. Write 9 below the line.
  • Step 4: Finally, add the hundreds column, where we have 1 with no carry over involved. Write 1 below the line.

After completing these steps, the vertical addition gives us the sum: 190190.

Answer

190

Exercise #2

amp;234+amp;amp;  16amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &234 \\ +& \\ &~~16 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Write 234 and 16 vertically, aligning them by the rightmost digits:
  • 234+  16 \begin{aligned} &234 \\ +& \\ &~~16 \\ \end{aligned}
  • Step 2: Start adding from the rightmost column (units):
    • Add 44 (units of 234) and 66 (units of 16):
    • 4+6=104 + 6 = 10
    • Write down 00 and carry over 11 to the tens column.
  • Step 3: Move to the tens column:
    • Add 33 (tens of 234), 11 (tens of 16), and the carried over 11:
    • 3+1+1=53 + 1 + 1 = 5
    • Write down 55.
  • Step 4: Add the hundreds column:
    • 22 (hundreds of 234):
    • Since there is no hundreds value in 16, it remains 22.

    Therefore, the sum of 234 and 16 is 250250.

    Thus, the solution to the problem is 250250, which corresponds to choice 2.

Answer

250

Exercise #3

amp;857+amp;amp;  23amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &857 \\ +& \\ &~~23 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll use vertical addition step-by-step:

  • Step 1: Write the numbers 857 and 23 in a column aligned by place values.
  • Step 2: Add starting from the rightmost column (units), moving left:
    • Units: 7 + 3 = 10. Write 0 and carry over 1 to the tens place.
    • Tens: 5 + 2 + 1 (carried over) = 8. Write 8 with no carry-over.
    • Hundreds: 8 + 0 = 8. Write 8.
  • Step 3: The final sum is 880.

Therefore, the sum of 857 and 23 is 880 880 .

The correct choice is Choice 4: 880 880 .

Answer

880

Exercise #4

amp;917+amp;amp;  73amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &917 \\ +& \\ &~~73 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Align the numbers by place value.
  • Add the numbers starting from the rightmost column, with carrying where necessary.
  • Verify the results match one of the provided multiple-choice answers.

We can begin with the addition:

+917+9  73777\begin{aligned} &\phantom{+}917 \\ + &\phantom{9}~~73 \\ &\underline{\phantom{777}} \end{aligned}

Let's add each digit column by column:

Step 1: Add the units place (rightmost column).

The units are 7 and 3. Add these together: 7+3=10 7 + 3 = 10 . Since 10 is more than 9, we place the 0 in the units place and carry over the 1 to the tens column.

Step 2: Add the tens place, including the carry from the previous step.

Now add the tens digits: 1+1+7=9 1 + 1 + 7 = 9 . (The 1 is carried from the previous step, and 9 is the result.) Place 9 in the tens column.

Step 3: Add the hundreds place.

The hundreds place has a 9 with nothing to add, so it remains 9.

The resulting sum from the addition is 990. Therefore, the correct answer is:

990990

Verifying with the given multiple-choice options, the correct answer is choice 3.

Answer

990
