Basic arithmetic and word problems

How it works

Addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as are multiplication and division. For word problems, first perform a calculation with the given quantities. Check the order of magnitude and unit.

Note
Sum: a+b; Difference: a−b; Product: a·b; Quotient: a:b.

An example

A library has 202 books and receives 92 new ones. How many are there then? Give only the requested number.

Initial stock + additions = 202 + 92. Result: 294.
