Explain how you solved for the sum using words, diagrams, or equations.

Answer 1

Walmart grocery stores in Virginia sold 429,382 eggs and the stores in Texas sold 283,054 eggs in September. To find the total number of eggs sold, you can either add the quantities together or solve an equation. The total number of eggs sold by Walmart grocery stores in Virginia and Texas in September is 712,436.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of eggs sold by Walmart grocery stores in Virginia and Texas in the month of September, we can use two strategies:

1. Add the number of eggs sold in Virginia and Texas together.
2. Use the properties of addition to find the sum of the two quantities.

Using the first strategy, we add 429,382 (eggs sold in Virginia) and 283,054 (eggs sold in Texas) together to get the total: 429,382 + 283,054 = 712,436 eggs.

Using the second strategy, we can represent the problem mathematically as an equation: 429,382 + 283,054 = x, where x represents the total number of eggs sold. Solving the equation, we find that x = 712,436 eggs.
