Column by column: 83 + 17

  • Ones: 3 + 7 = 10 — write 0, carry 1.
  • Tens: 8 + 1 + 1 = 10 — write 0, carry 1.
  • Hundreds: the carried 1 — write 1.

83 + 17 = 100

Second check: 100 − 83 = 17

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.

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