Question

A balloon seller sold $$236$$ red balloons, $$23$$ white balloons and $$749$$blue balloons. How many balloons were sold in all?
A.$186$
B.$654$
C.$1005$
 D.$1008$

Answer 1

Hint:To solve these types of problems, we use addition as we are given how many different types of balloons were sold by the seller. Hence, we will simply add different colour balloons and get the total number.

Complete step by step solution:
We are given that:
A seller sold balloons i.e., $$236$$of red colour, $$23$$ of white colour, $$749$$of blue colour.
Therefore, the total number of balloons will be sold
$$=236+23+749$$
$$=1008$$
Therefore, $$1008$$ balloons were sold in total.
So, Option D is correct.

Note: We will carefully do the addition of numbers here to avoid calculation mistakes.Here there is no condition given,if there was any condition given then we will use the formula of probability and solve this question
