What is 1,582 + 761?

To find the sum of 1,582 and 761, you can stack the numbers vertically, aligning them by their rightmost digits, and then add each column starting from the right.

First, add the digits in the ones place:

2 + 1 = 3.

Next, move to the tens place:

8 + 6 = 14. Write down 4 and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.

Then, add the hundreds place:

5 (from 1,582) + 7 (from 761) + 1 (the carry) equals 13. Write down 3 and carry over 1 to the thousands place.

Finally, move to the thousands place:

1 (the carry) + 1 (from 1,582) = 2.

Putting it all together, you have:

1 + 1 carry from last addition gives you 2 in the thousands place,

3 in the hundreds place,

4 in the tens place,

and 3 in the ones place, resulting in 2,343.

Thus, the correct answer is 2,343, which confirms that option A is accurate.
