Answer:

401

Step-by-step explanation:

301 + 73 + 27

Using the correct order of operations, you would start by adding 301 to 73. Then you'd add 27 to that sum.

Using the associative property of addition, you change the grouping to add 73 and 27 first since that equals 100, and it's easy to add 100 to 301 mentally.

301 + 73 + 27 =

= 301 + (73 + 27)

= 301 + 100

= 410
