Let's solve this problem by performing vertical addition:
Thus, the computed sum is:
Therefore, the sum of and is .
380
\( \begin{aligned} &90 \\ +& \\ &~~9\\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
We start from the units place (rightmost) because any carrying affects the next column to the left. This way, we handle all carries as we move left through the places.
When two digits add up to 10 or more, we write down the units digit and carry the tens digit to the next column. For example: , so write 0 and carry 1.
The carried number always goes to the next column to the left. Write it small above that column so you remember to add it with the other digits there.
If there's no second number in that place value, just bring down the digit from the first number. In this problem, we bring down the 3 from 377.
Not recommended! Adding left to right makes carrying much more complicated. You might have to change digits you already wrote. Always work right to left.
