Find the total by first adding the ones. 526 plus two equals what?

We know we’re adding two ones. How many ones are there in 526? The six digit represents the ones. So, we can break the number 526 apart into 520 and six. The question tells us to first add the ones. So, we need to add together six and two. Six plus two is eight. Now what we need to do is add the ones to the rest of the number. 520 plus eight is 528. 526 plus two equals 528.
