71 + 29 in a column. Carries are the small circled digits above the columns.

Column by column: 71 + 29

  • Ones: 1 + 9 = 10 — write 0, carry 1.
  • Tens: 7 + 2 + 1 = 10 — write 0, carry 1.
  • Hundreds: the carried 1 — write 1.

71 + 29 = 100

Second check: 100 − 71 = 29

FAQ

What is 71 + 29?

71 + 29 = 100

How do you check that 71 + 29 = 100?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 100 − 29 = 71, and 100 − 71 = 29. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 71 + 29?

2 carries: every time a column added up to 10 or more, its ones digit was written and 1 was carried to the next column on the left.

Is 29 + 71 the same as 71 + 29?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 100; the column looks the same with either number on top.
