Problem Solving

The question was There were 389 people at the theatre then another 118 arrived. How many were there altogether?

I work it out by adding the hundreds first then the ten then the ones then I added the total of each question
So this is how its done

398+118=516

300+100=400
90+10=100
8+8=16
400+100+16=516

  1. Good strategy Moala. I wonder if you could solve it using another strategy as well?
