Question

Find the sum:

$$\begin{gathered} 2.53 \\ 9.41 \\ +6.003 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Answer 1

Find the sum.

Given,

$$\begin{gathered} 2.53 \\ 9.41 \\ +6.003 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

We arrange the addends in columns filling the vacant places with zeros and add as under.

$$\begin{gathered} 2.530 \\ 9.410 \\ +6.003 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 17.943 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required sum is $17.943$.
