Find the value of question mark(?) in the following questions ?
248.67+136.85+1328.24=

Options

A. 1713.76
B. 1813.76
C. 1497.16
D. 1531.86

Answer

To solve the equation \( 248.67 + 136.85 + 1328.24 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Align the numbers by the decimal point
We write the numbers one below the other, aligning them at the decimal point:

```
248.67
+ 136.85
+1328.24
```

### Step 2: Add the numbers starting from the rightmost column
We will add the numbers column by column, starting from the rightmost column (the hundredths place).

1. **Hundredths place**:
- \( 7 + 5 + 4 = 16 \)
- Write down 6 and carry over 1.

2. **Tenths place**:
- \( 6 + 8 + 2 + 1 (carried over) = 17 \)
- Write down 7 and carry over 1.

3. **Units place**:
- \( 8 + 6 + 8 + 1 (carried over) = 23 \)
- Write down 3 and carry over 2.

4. **Tens place**:
- \( 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 (carried over) = 11 \)
- Write down 1 and carry over 1.

5. **Hundreds place**:
- \( 2 + 1 + 1 (carried over) = 4 \)
- Write down 4.

6. **Thousands place**:
- \( 1 \) (from 1328.24) remains as it is.

### Step 3: Write the final answer
Putting it all together, we get:

```
248.67
+ 136.85
+1328.24
__________
1713.76
```

Thus, the value of the question mark (?) is **1713.76**.
