Question
Sum of 2.3 + 7.7
- 9
- 10
- 11
- 12
Hint:
Arrange the numbers vertically and add the digits.

The correct answer is: 10
Subtract 0.3 from 2.3 and compensate by adding 0.3 to 7.7
(2.3 - 0.3) + (7.7 + 0.3)
2 + 8 = 10
Arrange the numbers vertically and add:
Step 1: Add 3 and 7.
3+7=10
Here, the 1 is a carry.
Step 2:
2 + 7 + 1 = 10
The answer is 10.
The correct option is (b) 10
