Addition Statement Sums

In statement sum we are given a statement. We have to analyse the statement and then take appropriate action.

Following steps are required to solve the statement

1. Read the statement carefully

2. Find the values that are given

3. Find the quantity which is required

4. Then perform the process to reach the desired result.

Let us consider the following example;

Sheela has 58 apples, her mother gave her 201 apples and her father gave her 40 apples more. How many apples she has altogether?

1. We will first analyse the statement

2. We will find the values that are given

In the question it is given that

Sheela has 58 apples, her mother gave her 201 apples and her father gave her 40 more apples

So, No. of  apples Sheela had = 58

No. of apples given by her mother = 201

No. of apples given by her father = 40

3. We will find the quantity which is required

In the question it is asked that

How many apples she has altogether?

To find number of apples she has altogether.

We will perform addition as we are supposed to find the no. of apples she has altogether.

58 + 201 + 40 = ?

We will perform the required operation

Hence Sheela has 299 apples altogether.
