ADDITION OF FEDERAL MONEY.

RULE.

Begin at the right hand side of the sum, add one row of figures at a time, and carry one for every ten, from the lower denomination to the next higher, as in Simple Addition, until the whole is added. When you come to the last row on the left hand, instead of setting down what remains over ten, twenty, or thirty, &c. set down the full amount.

Note. When there are parts of a cent in a sum, such is halves, &c. find the amount of them in fourths of a cent; consider how many cents these fourths will make, and add them to the first row in the column of cents.When the parts of a cent are not sufficient to make a cent, place their amount at the right hand of the column of cents, as in the first example; and when the parts of i cent make one cent or more, and some parts remain, but not enough for another cent, the parts thus remaining must be set down in the same way, according to the second example. The proof is the same as in Simple Addition.

Ans. 2226,621 2. A merchant, in buying gave for flour, $325.43}; for sugar, $854.25; for molasses, $520.621; for coffee, $944.50; and for cotton, $6427.12. paid?

What was the sum Ans. $9071.934. cents; 934 cents; 871

Ans. $14.16 cents. 4. Gave for an Arithmetick 314 cents; for a slate, 374 cents; for quills, 50 cents; for an inkstand, 62 cents; for a Geography, 1 dollar, and for a History, 874 cents. How much do they amount to? Ans. $3.684 cents. 5. Add $75212.50, $644225.75, $4587220.50, $90000, and $5876432.75.

SUBTRACTION OF FEDERAL MONEY.

RULE.

Place the smaller sum under the larger, setting the dollars under dollars and cents under cents, and proceed as in Simple Substraction. When there is a fraction, or part of a cent in the upper line of figures, and none in the lower, set it down at the right of the remainder, as

a part of the answer. When there is a fraction in each line, and the upper one is the larger, subtract the lower one from it and set down the difference; but if the lower one is larger than the upper, subtract it from the number that it takes of the fraction to make a cent-add the difference to the upper one, and set down the amount. When there is a fraction in the lower line and none in the upper; subtract the fraction from the number that it takes of it to make a cent, and set down the remainder. In this case, and likewise when the part or fraction I elow is larger than the upper one, it is necessary to carry one to the right hand figure of the lower row of cents.

Ans. $2323.871
Ans. $572.12ł.

5. Subtract $8427.871, from $9000.

MULTIPLICATION OF FEDERAL MONEY.
RULE.

Set the multiplier under the sum, and proceed as in Simple Multiplication, carrying one for every ten from a lower to a higher denomination, until the whole is multiplied. After the sum is done, separate, by a period, the two right hand figures of the product for cents, and the figures at the left hand of the period will be dollars.

Note.-When the sum to be multiplied contains a fraction, or part of a cent, multiply it by the multipler, and consider how many cents are contained in its product. Then multiply the first figure of the cents and add to its product the cents contained in the product of the fraction, and proceed as directed above. In multiplying a fraction, if you find in the product one cent or more, and a remainder not large enough to make another cent, set down the fraction at the right hand of the product, that is under the row of fractions or parts of a cent.When there is a fraction in the sum, and the multiplier exceeds 12, multiply the sum without the fraction, and afterwards multiply the fraction and add it to the sum.

*In multiplying by 10, when there is no fraction in the sum, it is necessary to add a cypher to the right hand of the sum, placing the period that separates cents from dollars one figure farther towards the right hand, and the sum is done. In multiplying by 100, add two cynhers; by 1000, three, &c.
