Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:02 Each time consider combining 2 digits, and then place

00:05 Let's start by adding ones with ones

00:08 Write down the ones, add 1 to the tens

00:11 Add tens with tens, remember to add 1 to the calculation

00:16 Write down the tens in tens place, add 1 to hundreds

00:20 Write 0 in the missing digits

00:24 Add hundreds with hundreds remember to add 1, place in hundreds

00:30 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform the following steps:

Align the numbers vertically with the smaller number (54) beneath the larger number (276), ensuring correct placement according to place values (units under units, tens under tens).
Add the units digits: $6 + 4 = 10$ . Write down 0 in the units place and carry over 1 to the tens place.
Add the tens digits: $7 + 5 = 12$ , plus the carried-over 1 gives us $13$ . Write down 3 in the tens place and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.
Add the hundreds digits: $2 + 0 = 2$ , plus the carried-over 1 gives us $3$ .

The numbers aligned look like this:

$\begin{aligned} & \phantom{1} 276 \\ + & \phantom{1} \underline{\phantom{0}54} \\ & \phantom{1} 330 \\ \end{aligned}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $330$ .
