Ira was instructed by his mother to buy 40 apples from the store, although while walking home, Ira saw a pear stand on the street. Delighted by the sight of the fruit, he decided to buy 17 pears from the extra amount of money that he has left. Determine how many fruits does Ira has in total.
Solution:
In order to determine the number of fruits that Ira has, we simply needed to add 40 and 17.
