• A. 245,321
• B. 255,133
• C. 274,633
• D. 254,645

Answer 1

The correct option is B 255,133

Number of trucks carrying dark chocolate pieces = 203,485

Number of trucks carrying white chocolate pieces = 51,648

To find out the total number of trucks, we need to add both the numbers.

So, first let us fill the values in the place value chart first.


Let's add the digits of 203,485 with the digits of 51,648 according to their corresponding places.


Adding 8 and 5 gives 13.
We regroup it as 1 ten and 3 ones.

Similarly, 1 + 8 + 4 = 13
We regroup it as 1 hundred and 3 tens.

Following the same rule for all the corresponding numbers, we get 203,485 + 51,648 = 255,133

So, there are 255,133 chocolate trucks altogether.
