example: The population of a town is 83,426. If there 12 13 11

are 48,967 males, how many females are there in the 7 2 3 1 16
town? 8 3 4 2 6

Solution: Total population of the town = 83,426 – 4 8 9 6 7
Number of males = 48,967 3 4 4 5 9

Number of females = 83,426 – 48,967 = 34,459
Thus, there are 34,459 females in the town.

addition and subtraCtion together

To solve problems that involve both addition and subtraction, we first perform addition
and then perform subtraction.

example 1: Solve: 32,345 + 25,361 – 23,694.

Solution: We first find the sum of 32,345 and 25,361 and then find the difference
between the sum obtained and 23,694 as shown below.

tth th H t O tth th H t O

1 6 10
3 2 3 4 5 5 7 7 0 6
+ 2 5 3 6 1 – 2 3 6 9 4
5 7 7 0 6 3 4 0 1 2

Thus, 32,345 + 25,361 – 23,694 = 34,012.
