Question

Write a story problem that can be solved by finding the sum of 506,211 and 424,809. Then solve the problem.

Answer 1

we have that

Donald bought an apartment in Florida for $\ 506,211$ and a house in Houston for  $\ 424,809$ How much did the two properties Donald bought cost in total?

Let

x----------> the cost of the property in Florida

y----------> the cost of the property in Houston

T-------> total cost

we know that

$x=\ 506,211$

$y= \ 424,809$

$T=x+y$

Substitute the values in the formula

$T=\ 506,211+\ 424,809=\ 931,020$

The answer is

the total cost is $\ 931,020$

Answer 2

There are 506,211 dogs in California and 424,809 dogs in Nevada. How many dogs are there all together? 506,211+424,809=931,020
