Question

In a district, ₹ $1882$ were spent for digging the tubewell, and ₹ $2750$ were spent on a medical help for the rural population.

Find the total amount spent.

Answer 1

Step 1: Add the ones

Given: ₹ $1882$ were spent for digging the tubewell, and ₹ $2750$ were spent on a medical help.

So, total amount spent is $1882+2750$

Sum: $\mathrm{Th}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}1882+2750$

First add ones $2+0=2$,

Write $2$ under ones column.

Step 2: Add the tens

Next add tens $8+5=13$,

Write $3$ under tens column and carry $1$ to hundreds column.

Step 3: Add the hundreds

Next add hundreds $1+8+7=16$, (Extra $1$ is carry from hundreds)

Write $6$ under hundreds column and carry $1$ to thousands column.

Step 4: Add the thousands

And finally add thousand $1+1+2=4$ (Extra $1$ is carry from hundreds)

Write $4$ under thousand column.

So we get,

$\mathrm{Th}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{carry}-\mathrm{over}111882+27504632$

Hence, Total amount spent is $4632$.
