What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 2 to 400.
Every problem in it will take one step.
A careful solution takes 2 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: the numbers were taken away from one another; "altogether" asks for the two amounts joined.
Answers are a whole number.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 240 different ones, 100% — so a sheet of 20 is a new sheet almost every time.
