Adding Three Numbers

How to add three numbers (for example 45 + 82 + 67).

  • Place the numbers in a column so that the tens' place digits and ones' place digits are lined up. Draw a line under the bottom number.
  • 45
    82
    67
    
  • Add the three ones' place digits. (5 + 2 + 7 = 14). This sum is a two-digit number, so place a one above the tens' place column and place the four below the line in the ones' place column.
