Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

249 means Two hundreds, Four tens & Nine ones

201 means Two hundreds, Zero tens & One one

To obtain the sum of 249 & 201, we will sum the numbers having the same place value together, we have:

249 + 201 = Two hundreds plus Two hundreds, Four tens plus Zero tens & Nine ones plus One one

We have; Four hundreds, Four tens & Ten ones

"Ten ones" means that one is added to the digit in the tens place value. That is, Four tens plus One ten

Hence, the sum is given as:

Four hundreds, Five tens & Zero one
