on saturday 94,887 rode on local bus in staten island and 11,107 passengers rode on the express bus how many passengers rode on the two buses on saturday
#passengers on local bus + #passengers on express bus=
94,887+11,107=(94,000+11,000) + 887 + 107 = 105,000 + (880+100) + 7 + 7 =
105,000 + 980 + 14 = 105,000 + 994 = 105,000 + 1,000 - 6 = 106,000 - 6 = 105,994
It was all "give and take"!

. . . and since 95,000 + 11,000 = 106,000 . . . this answer is REASONABLE.09/24/19
