- 95 (Written Solution)
One way to solve this problem is to think in terms of place values.
We have:
6 tens or 60
3 tens or 30
2 ones or 2
3 ones or 3
The following bars represent 6 tens. Each bar has 10 rectangles for a total of 60 rectangles.

The following bars represent 3 tens. Each bar has 10 rectangles for a total of 30 rectangles.

Now, add 6 tens plus 3 tens or 60 + 30.
Now, there are 9 tens, for a total of 90 rectangles.

Then we can add our ones
2 + 3 = 5 or 5 ones

The answer is 9 tens and 5 ones, which is 95.

Using place values, the problem 525 + 25 is shown below.

Start by adding the numbers in the ones column. The first answer is 10. Put the 0 in the ones column and carry the 1 into the tens column.

Continue by adding the numbers in the tens columns. 1 + 2 + 2 = 5
Put the 5 in the tens column.

Finally, add the hundreds column. In this column, we have a 5 and nothing else. Hence the answer here is 5.

The answer to 525 + 25 is 550.
