36,930,097for The Voice

20, 806,912 for America's Got Talent

Find the sum of the views for these three shows.

Answer 1

To find the sum of the views for the three shows, we simply add the number of views together.

1. **American Idol**: 46,579,488
2. **The Voice**: 36,930,097
3. **America's Got Talent**: 20,806,912

Now let's add them:

\[
46,579,488 + 36,930,097 + 20,806,912
\]

Step 1: Add the first two numbers:

\[
46,579,488 + 36,930,097 = 83,509,585
\]

Step 2: Now add the result from Step 1 to the third number:

\[
83,509,585 + 20,806,912 = 104,316,497
\]

Thus, the total number of views for the three shows is:

\[
\boxed{104,316,497}
\]
