Answer 1

The correct option is A 41,829

Number of hot chocolate cups required for the pillars = 35,050

Number of hot chocolate cups required for the doors = 6,779

To find the total number of hot chocolate cups, we need to add the numbers together.

Let us first fill the values in the place value chart.


Let's add the digits of 35,050 with 6,779 by checking the numbers in the corresponding places.


Adding 0 and 9 gives 9.
Adding 7 and 5 gives 12.
We regroup it as 1 hundred and 2 tens.

Following the same rule for all the corresponding numbers, we
get: 35,050 + 6,779 = 41,829

So, 41,829 hot chocolate cups are required altogether.
