To find:the sum of the given numbers

Answer to Problem 8P

The addition of given numbers is 54.39

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Consider the decimals as, 25.72 and 18.67

Calculation:

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

Here, both have same digits after decimal.

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

So,

  $\begin{array}{l} 25.72+28.667\hfill \\ =54.39\hfill \end{array}$

Now, decimal point is placed after 1 digit from end as it was placed in each entry for addition

Thus, the addition of given numbers is 54.39

Conclusion:

Thus, the addition of given numbers is 54.39
