Calculate the Sum: Finding 47 + 25 in Vertical Format

$\begin{aligned} &47 \\ +& \\ &25 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}$

To solve this vertical addition problem, we follow these steps:

• Step 1: Write the numbers one below the other, aligning columns by place value.
• Step 2: Begin with the ones column. Add $7$ (from $47$) to $5$ (from $25$).
• Step 3: Calculate the sum in the ones column: $7 + 5 = 12$.
• Step 4: Since $12$ is greater than $9$, we write $2$ in the ones place and carry over $1$ to the tens column.
• Step 5: Add the tens column: $4$ from $47$, $2$ from $25$, and the carried over $1$.
• Step 6: Calculate the tens sum: $4 + 2 + 1 = 7$.

Therefore, the final sum is $72$.

By checking the provided choices, the correct choice is: $72$.
