Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Don't use pen or paper, just your brain. Take 100 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Now add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Joey is correct. The answer is 3200 unless you're trying to pose a riddle rather than a math problem and "take 100" actually means subtract 100 from 0 and start with -100 then add 40 to make -60 and continue from there.
