Answer:
B. Add 115+500 then subtract 3
C. Add 112+500
Step-by-step explanation:
Any strategy that gives a sum of 612 will work. Strategy A gives a sum of 602, so is not useful.
The appropriate choices are B and C.
B: 115 +497 = 115 +(500 -3) = (115 +500) -3
C: 115 +497 = 115 +497 -3 +3 = (115 -3) +(497 +3) = 112 +500
