Addition using Place Values
- Step 1: Arrange the numbers 85, 25 (addends) to align them properly in respective columns for ones, tens, hundreds, and Thousands… stacking them vertically
- Step 2: Sum the numbers from the rightmost column, moving leftward, beginning with the ones column, followed by the tens column, and hundreds column till the leftmost column.
- Step 3: If the sum in any of the columns is more than 9, we regroup this sum into tens and ones. We write the ones digit of this sum under that particular column and we carry over the tens digit of the sum to the next column. This carried-over digit is added along with the addends of that specific column.
- Step 4: The total of the provided numbers is achieved by adding all the columns together. In this problem, the total is 110
