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

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

Answer 2

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`
