Answers:
246.5 + 246. 5 = 493
150 + 343 = 493
50 + 25 + 230 + 58 + 16 + 62 + 33 + 19 = 493
Explanation:
In mathematics, to total a number means to use different numbers and add them to obtain a specific total. For example, 10 can be obtained by adding 3 + 7, 2 + 8, 5 + 5, etc. In the case of the number 493 there are many possible ways to total this number. Here, I include three ways:
246.5 + 246. 5 = 493
One simple way to find numbers that total a specific number is by dividing it by two 493 ÷ 2 = 246.5; therefore 246.5 + 246. 5 = 493.
Also, you can simply write a number that is lower than the total, and determine which number is needed to add the total. For example, you can write 150 as the first number, and then find the second number by doing a subtraction 493 - 150 = 343
150 + 343 = 493
Finally, you can add different numbers and continue adding until you get the total.
50 + 25 + 230 + 58 + 16 + 62 + 33 + 19 = 493
