First thing I do is put the large number first.

Same as Dan, take the 48, I guess the "bigger figure" and add the 20 to it. Then add what was left.

48 + 7 then added the 20.

But what's your thought process to get to the answer

Post your answer below (before you read everyone else's)

It's interesting how people process this differently

27+48 = 25+50 = 75
I’m a mathematician and I’ve taught my kids tricks like that. I’ve seen quite a few disconcerted adults when my kids get to the answer quicker than they can.

Not sure why but I always seem to do things that way, get the smaller number to a round and then the rest is easy.

This for me too

A true mathematician doesn't mess around with pesky things like numbers.

Given enough time 27+48 = 0.

I got all the way down to 31. Then it fizzled out in my brain.
