TIP: With numbers less than 1,000, add the hundreds first, then the tens and then the ones. 123 + 56 + 684 - 3 = (100 + 600) + (20 + 50 + 80) + (3 + 6 + 4 - 3) = 700 + 150 + 10 = 860. You can repeat the procedure if you are having difficulty in doing it in your head
2. 345 + 450 - 200 = ?
[ ] 597
[ ] 598
[ ] 596
[x] 595
345 + 450 - 200 = (300 + 400 - 200) + (40 + 50) + (5) = 500 + 90 + 5 = 595
3. 245 + 309 - 68 = ?
[x] 486
[ ] 485
[ ] 487
[ ] 488
245 + 309 - 68 = (200 + 300) + (40 - 60) + (5 + 9 - 8) = 500 - 20 + 6 = 486
4. 234 - 450 + 389 = ?
[ ] 170
[ ] 174
[ ] 175
[x] 173
234 - 450 + 389 = (200 - 400 + 300) + (30 - 50 + 80) + (4 + 9) = 100 + 60 + 13 = 173
5. 500 + 200 + 400 - 678 = ?
[ ] 420
[ ] 421
[x] 422
[ ] 423
500 + 200 + 400 - 678 = (500 + 200 + 400 - 600) - (70) - (8) = 500 - 78 = 422. You can repeat the procedure if you are having difficulty in doing it in your head. Note: with negative numbers, the negative sign is kept with each part of the number, e.g. - 678 is written as -600, -70, -8
6. 238 - 78 - 45 + 167 = ?
[ ] 228
[x] 282
[ ] 283
