@smokeythepug @BhattiLaib9960 That’s not the only think take can mean. They didn’t say take 1000 away. Could just as well, even more likely, mean take 1000 to start. Your math is good though, so 4100

[richard schwalb is on Bluesky as @rschwalb @richschwalb]

@HShucart @BhattiLaib9960 What else would Another 1000 mean in this context if not to add another 1000? Nothing! Nonsense words just to trick us? That’s silly! This isn’t Simon Says, it’s a word problem. Ya gotta figure out what the words mean! The answer is 4100 😀

[richard schwalb is on Bluesky as @rschwalb @richschwalb]

@BhattiLaib9960 Why does take have to mean subtract?They didn’t say take away! It can mean I’m giving you 1000 - take it (to start).Why overthink and second guess these things?If they say start with 1000, start with 1000!When they say another 1000, they probably mean add another 1000. So 4100
