Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this vertical addition problem, follow these steps:

Step 1: Align the numbers according to place value: hundreds, tens, and ones.
The numbers are:
276
+ 16
Step 2: Start adding from the rightmost column (the ones place):
- Add 6 (from 276) and 6 (from 16) = 12.
- Write down 2 in the ones place and carry over 1 to the tens place.
Step 3: Move to the tens column:
- Add 7 (from 276), 1 (carried), and 1 (from 16) = 9.
- Write down 9 in the tens place.
Step 4: Finally, move to the hundreds column:
- Since there's no carried number here, add 2 (from 276) as it is.
- Write down 2 in the hundreds place.

After performing these operations, the final sum is written as:

292

Therefore, the correct answer to the problem is $292$ .
