Problem 1:
David bought 3 presents for his children. The prices were $25, $22 and $18. How much did he pay in total?
We need to add the three amounts together:
First, add $25 + $22 = $47
Then, add $47 + $18 = $65
✔ Total = $65

Problem 2:
At the animal park, there were 14 dogs, 12 cats and 15 birds. How many animals were there altogether?
Add all the animals:
14 (dogs) + 12 (cats) = 26
26 + 15 (birds) = 41
✔ Total animals = 41

Problem 3:
Billy made 37 cookies over 2 days. He made 15 on Monday. How many did he make on Tuesday?
Total cookies = 37
Monday = 15
So, Tuesday = 37 - 15 = 22
✔ Cookies on Tuesday = 22
