Question

A pet shelter has 26 dogs,37cats,and 14 gerbils. How many of these animals are in the pet shelter in all?

Answer 1

There are a total of 77 animals in the shelter.

Here's how I figured out my answer:

In order to get the answer, we must add all the numbers together.

Step 1: Do $26 + 14$, which is 40. That leaves us with $40 + 37$.

Step 2: Do $40 + 37$, to get your answer, 77.

Answer 2

37+26+14=77 you have to add 37,26,14 to get your answer
