Problem 1: 32 + 25

We start at 32.

First, we add 10 → 32 + 10 = 42
Then add another 10 → 42 + 10 = 52
Now we’ve added 20 so far. We need to add 5 more (since 25 = 20 + 5).

Add 1 five times:

→ 52 + 1 = 53
→ 53 + 1 = 54
→ 54 + 1 = 55
→ 55 + 1 = 56
→ 56 + 1 = 57

✔ So, 32 + 25 = 57

Problem 2: 54 + 31

Start at 54.

Add 10 → 54 + 10 = 64
Add 10 → 64 + 10 = 74
Add 10 → 74 + 10 = 84
That’s 30 added. Now add 1 more for the “+1” in 31.

→ 84 + 1 = 85

✔ So, 54 + 31 = 85

Problem 3: 23 + 54

Start at 23.

Add 10 → 23 + 10 = 33
Add 10 → 33 + 10 = 43
Add 10 → 43 + 10 = 53
Add 10 → 53 + 10 = 63
Add 10 → 63 + 10 = 73 ← that’s 50 added

Now add 4 more (since 54 = 50 + 4):

→ 73 + 1 = 74
→ 74 + 1 = 75
→ 75 + 1 = 76
→ 76 + 1 = 77

✔ So, 23 + 54 = 77

---

Problem 4: 71 + 42

Start at 71.

Add 10 → 71 + 10 = 81
Add 10 → 81 + 10 = 91
Add 10 → 91 + 10 = 101
Add 10 → 101 + 10 = 111 ← that’s 40 added

Now add 2 more (since 42 = 40 + 2):

→ 111 + 1 = 112
→ 112 + 1 = 113

✔ So, 71 + 42 = 113

---

Final Answer:
32 + 25 = 57
54 + 31 = 85
23 + 54 = 77
71 + 42 = 113
