Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re adding two numbers in each case — no carrying needed, so we can add the tens and ones separately if it helps.

Problem 1:
I eat 52 bananas in a month.
Next month I eat 25 more.
Total = 52 + 25
Break it down:
50 + 20 = 70
2 + 5 = 7
70 + 7 =
77
✔ Total bananas eaten:
77
---
Problem 2:
There are 36 snails.
21 more come.
Total = 36 + 21
30 + 20 = 50
6 + 1 = 7
50 + 7 =
57
✔ Total snails:
57
---
Problem 3:
Frazer has 54 balloons.
Sally has 12 balloons.
Sum = 54 + 12
50 + 10 = 60
4 + 2 = 6
60 + 6 =
66
✔ Sum:
66
---
Problem 4:
Tyger has 40p.
He gets 26p more.
Total money = 40 + 26
40 + 20 = 60
0 + 6 = 6
60 + 6 =
66
✔ Money he has now:
66 p
---
Problem 5:
There are 35 dolphins.
40 more come along.
Total = 35 + 40
30 + 40 = 70
5 + 0 = 5
70 + 5 =
75
✔ Dolphins now:
75
---
Problem 6:
There are 43 cars on the road.
45 more drive in.
Total = 43 + 45
40 + 40 = 80
3 + 5 = 8
80 + 8 =
88
✔ Cars on the road now:
88
---
Final Answer:
1) 77
2) 57
3) 66
4) 66
5) 75
6) 88
