3. ADDITION. 146. 1. A person gave £2 17s. and 8d. for a load of hay, £1 58. 3d. for 5 bushels of wheat, and 10s. 4d. for a load of wood; what did the whole cost?

As we may very evidently add pence to pence, shillings 1. 8. d.

to shillings, &c. we write down the numbers so that pence 2 17 8

shall stand under pence, shillings under shillings, and 1 5 3

We then add the pence, and find their sum to be 10 4

15d. but as 12d.=]s. 15=ls. 30. We therefore write

down 3d. under the column of pence, and reserve the Is. 4 13 3 Ans.

to be joined with the shillings. We now add together

the shillings, which, with the ls. reserved, amount to 33s. 4 13 3 proof.

=£1 138. we therefore write 13s. under the column of shillings, and reserve the £1 to be joined with the pounds. Lastly, we add the pounds, and joining the £1 reser ycd, write the amount, £4, under the column of pounds; and thus we find the whole cost to be £4 13s. Bd. The above process is called Corçound Addition.

COMPOUND ADDITION 147. Is the uniting together of several compound numbers into one sum.(48)

RULE 148. Place the numbers to be added so that those of the same denomination may stand directly under each other.

Add the numbers of the lowest denomination, and carry for that number which it takes of that denomination to make 1 of the next higher, writing the excess, if any, at the foot of the column. Proceed with each denomination in the same way, till you arrive at the last, whose amount is to be set down as in Simple Addition.

PROOF.-The same as in Simple Addition.
