Chapter 0, Problem 10P

To determine

To find: the sum of the given numbers

Answer to Problem 10P

The addition of given numbers is 62.24

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Consider the decimals as, 25.54 and 36.7

Calculation:

Decimal addition is similar to any other addition but it should be ensured that digits after decimal are same in both.

Thus, 0 is annexed to 36.7 so as to make it 36.70

Then addition is performed in normal way, forgetting about decimal point

So,

  $\begin{array}{rr}\hfill & \hfill 2554\\ \hfill & \hfill \underset{\_}{+3670}\\ \hfill & \hfill 6224\end{array}$

Now, decimal point is placed after 2 digits from end as it was placed in each entry for addition.

Thus, the addition of given numbers is 62.24

Conclusion:

Thus, the addition of given numbers is 62.24
