The compensation strategy is used in mathematics when taking the sum of two or more values in other to make computation easier.

  • Compensation involves adjusting the value of a certain number before processing with addition in other to make the calculation easier.

  • For example ; 29 + 33
  • We could change the value of 29 to 30 by adding 1 ; as it is easier to sum 30 and 33.
  • Then ; 30 + 33 = 63
  • The added value is then subtracted from the result.
  • 63 - 1 = 62
  • Hence, 29 + 33 = 62

The above example is a simple way of using the compensation strategy.
