Write a story problem that can be solved by finding the sum of 506,211 and 424,809. Then solve the problem.
There are 506,211 dogs in California and 424,809 dogs in Nevada. How many dogs are there all together?
506,211+424,809=931,020
we have that
Donald bought an apartment in Florida for \(\$506,211\) and a house in Houston for \(\$424,809\) How much did the two properties Donald bought cost in total?
Let
x----------> the cost of the property in Florida
y----------> the cost of the property in Houston
T-------> total cost
we know that
\(x=\$506,211\)
\(y= \$424,809\)
\(T=x+y\)
Substitute the values in the formula
\(T=\$506,211+\$424,809=\$931,020\)
The answer is
the total cost is \(\$931,020\)
