Joe scored 43 in Economics, 31 in Science and 52 in Math. What is his total in all the three subjects?
 a. 115 b. 126 c. 95 d. 136

#### Solution:

Total score = marks in Economics + marks in Science + marks in Maths.

= 43 + 31 + 52
[Substitute the values.]

43 = 40 + 3
31 = 30 + 1
52 = 50 + 2
[Break the numbers into tens and ones.]

= (40 + 30 + 50) + (3 + 1 + 2)
[Add the tens and ones separately.]

= 120 + 6 = 126

So, the total in all the three subjects is 126.

There are 23 computers in the first room, 43 computers in the second room and 53 computers in the third room. Find the total number of computers in all the three rooms.
 a. 99 b. 119 c. 120 d. 129

#### Solution:

Total number of computers in all the three rooms = computers in the first room + computers in the second room + computers in the third room.

= 23 + 43 + 53
[Substitute the values.]

23 = 20 + 3
43 = 40 + 3
53 = 50 + 3
[Break the numbers into tens and ones.]

= (20 + 40 + 50) + (3 + 3 + 3)
[Add the tens and ones separately.]

= 110 + 9 = 119

So, the total number of computers in all the three rooms is 119.

Nancy got into an elevator at the fifth floor. If the elevator goes up 4 floors, at which floor is Nancy now?
 a. first b. ninth c. eighth d. tenth

#### Solution:

5 + 4 = 9

So, Nancy is at the ninth floor now.
