Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:04 Let's solve this problem step by step.

00:08 First, try to combine two digits each time. It helps.

00:12 Start by adding the ones place. One plus one.

00:17 Write that down. Carry over one if needed.

00:20 Next, add the tens place. Don't forget to include the one you carried over.

00:25 Place the tens and carry over any extra to the hundreds.

00:30 Fill any missing digits with zero, just to keep it clear.

00:35 Finally, add the hundreds and place it correctly.

00:38 And that's how we find the solution! Great job!

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll use vertical addition as follows:

Step 1: Arrange the numbers vertically with the place values aligned.

   $26$ 
+  $74$ 
 $\underline{\phantom{776}}$

Step 2: Add the numbers starting from the ones column:
- Add the ones place: $6 + 4 = 10$ . Write down $0$ and carry over $1$ to the tens column.

   $26$ 
+  $74$ 
 $\underline{\phantom{776}}$ 
   $00$

Step 3: Move to the tens column: Add $2 + 7 = 9$ , then add the carried over $1$ to get $10$ .
- Write down $10$ .

      $26$ 
  +  $74$ 
   $\underline{\phantom{6707}}$ 
   $100$

Therefore, the sum of $26$ and $74$ is $100$ .

The correct answer amongst the choices provided is :

100

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $100$ .
