The concept of addition is used is many daily life situations. We should read the problem and find out what is to be done. Then solve it.

The following are some examples of fourth grade math word problems on addition:

1. The price of a Maruti car is $185990 while the price of a Hero Honda motor-cycle is $34576. Find the total cost of the two.

Solution:

Price of a Maruti car     = $ 1 8 5 9 9 0

Price of a Hero Honda   = $ + 3 4 5 7 6

Total price of the two   = $ 2 2 0 5 6 6

Therefore total price of Maruti car and Hero Honda = $220566

Number of women      =         5 9 2 5 2

Number of children     =      + 3 3 2 5 8

Total population        =       1 5 5 9 6 0

Therefore the total population of the city = 1 5 5 9 6 0.

3. What is the sum of 5437, 1328 and 1237?
