Lesson Twenty-five: Adding Stack of Three


What about if you have more numbers to add in a stack?

	44
	81
	33
	22
       +91
      -------

You start adding in the usual way: you add the ones column:

	1
	44
	81
	33
	22
       +91
      -------
	 1

The sum for the ones column in the example is 11 and so you must carry a one to the tens column.

Next you add up the tens column:


	1
	44
	81
	33
	22
       +91
      -------
       271

The final answer to this problem is 271. If you had numbers larger than one hundred you would simply proceed to the hundreds column and continue adding as usual.
