            Example  :           In  a  village,  there  are  5276  men,  2535  women  and  2075

                                 children. Find the total population of the village.

            Solution  :          Men                          =        5  2  7  6


                                 Women                        =  + 2  5  3  5

                                 Children                     =  + 2  0  7  5


                                 Total population             =        9  8  8  6


                                 Therefore, the total population is 9886.



            Example  :           Rupam  earned  `  3050  in  February,  `  2659  in  March  and

                                 ` 3943 in April. Find the total amount he earned.

            Solution  :          Rupam earned in February                    =        ` 3 0 5 0

                                 He earned in March                          =  + ` 2 6 5 9


                                 He earned in April                          =   + ` 3 9 4 3

                                 He earned in 3 months                       =        ` 9 6 5 2


                                 Therefore, Rupam earned ` 9652 in 3 months.
