Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we will perform the following steps:

Step 1: Align the numbers by their place values:

17+94 \begin{array}{c} 17 \\ + 94 \\ \hline \end{array}

Step 2: Begin adding the rightmost digits, i.e., the ones column:

The ones digits are 77 and 44.
7+4=117 + 4 = 11.

Since 1111 is greater than 99, we write down 11 and carry over the 11.

Step 3: Move to the tens column, adding the tens digits along with the carry:

The tens digits are 11 and 99, plus the carried over 11:

1+9+1=111 + 9 + 1 = 11.

Write the last digit 11 and carry over the 11 to the hundreds column (excess here becomes the hundreds place).

Step 4: Align the result:

1 (carry)17+94   111   \begin{array}{cc} \quad \quad \quad 1 ~\text{(carry)} \\ & \\ 17 \\ + 94~~~ \\ \hline 111~~ \\ \end{array}

Thus, the sum of 1717 and 9494 is 111111.

Therefore, the correct answer is 111111.

Final Answer

111

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Alignment: Stack numbers by place value - ones under ones
  • Technique: Add ones column: 7 + 4 = 11, write 1, carry 1
  • Check: Verify by adding left to right: 17 + 94 = 111 ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Forgetting to carry when sum exceeds 9
    Don't write 11 in the ones place = wrong answer of 1114! When digits add to 10 or more, you must carry the tens digit. Always write the ones digit and carry the tens digit to the next column.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

When do I need to carry in addition?

+

You carry whenever the sum of digits in a column is 10 or greater. Write down the ones digit and carry the tens digit to the next column left.

What if I forget to add the carried number?

+

Your answer will be wrong! The carried number represents tens from the previous column. Always remember to add it with the other digits in the tens column.

Can I add from left to right instead?

+

It's much harder! Right-to-left (ones first) is standard because carrying flows naturally to the left. This prevents errors and confusion.

How do I check if my vertical addition is correct?

+

Try these methods:

  • Add horizontally: 17 + 94 = 111
  • Add in reverse order: 94 + 17 = 111
  • Estimate: 20 + 90 = 110 (close to 111!)

What happens when I carry to a new place value?

+

Great question! When you carry from the tens to hundreds (like in this problem), you create a new hundreds place. That's why 17 + 94 = 111 has three digits.
