To add 64 and 37 mentally, you can break it down like this:

1. Recognize that 37 is 3 less than 40. You can use that to simplify the addition:
- 64 + 37 can be rewritten as 64 + (40 - 3).

2. This can be rearranged to:
- 64 + 40 - 3.

3. Now add 64 and 40:
- 64 + 40 = 104.

4. Finally, subtract 3:
- 104 - 3 = 101.

So, the correct sum of 64 and 37 is **101**.

Let's break it down:

You started with the equation **37 + 3 + 61**.

- First, add **37 + 3** which equals **40**.
- Then add this to **61**:
- **40 + 61 = 101**.

Among the options you provided:

- **40 + 60** = 100 (not correct)
- **40 + 62** = 102 (not correct)
- **40 + 61** = 101 (this is correct)

So, **37 + 3 + 61 can be added to become 40 + 61**.

Therefore, the answer is **40 + 61**.
