Math Problem Statement

200 + 500 = 700; 8 + 9 = 17; 20 + 10 = 30; 700 + 30 + 17 = 747 addends

Solution

In this sequence of calculations, the goal is to add various sums to ultimately get the total of 747. Let's break it down step-by-step:

  1. 200 + 500 = 700
    The sum of 200 and 500 is 700.

  2. 8 + 9 = 17
    The sum of 8 and 9 is 17.

  3. 20 + 10 = 30
    The sum of 20 and 10 is 30.

  4. 700 + 30 + 17 = 747
    Finally, adding the results:
    700 + 30 = 730
    730 + 17 = 747.

So, the total sum is indeed 747.
