Take 1000 and add 40 to it.= 1040

Now add another 1000.=2040

Now add 30.=2070

then Another 1000.=3070

Now add 20.=3090

Now add another 1000.=4090

Now add 10.=4100

And then add 1000=5100

Simple as XYZ.....

tres-chic:
Pls what's funny or tricky about this?

confy911:
It 2 work here.. D ans to d 1st is 2070 and the oda is 3030...shikena...nw am smarter

Jfactor: assume u were in a job interview
ds words 'take' 'add' and 'total' do not have any connection with 5100 or 4100... wait b4 u shout na! answer ds questions sincerely: 1. is 'take away' d same as 'take'
2. is 'add to' d same as 'add'
3. is 'add' not same as 'place insequentially order or in front'
4. is 'sum' d same as 'total'

my own answer if neither 5100 nor 4100 can be in the option will be
1000401000301000201000101000

After this, you should be able to deduce that add= add to= sum,
understanding the context which it is used is the key.]

tnks 4 ur reasonging, I appreciate ur answer. but in an interview stage, i do not tink u will be able to discuss all dse verbs, nouns adjectives etc. b4 answering d questn.
2ndly there is none line sentence indictating a 'sum total' of each 'add another'. anyway, one is not said to be confused if answers differs from ur Op, dts why humans are dynamic

lol, I didn't even form the question, if you read through this thread from the beginning you will find out its an international question which I only edited slightly, what you think is the trick is not the trick, its only your misinterpretation. Ask those who choose 6000 as their answer what the trick is.


"Then another 1000": No intelligent student will doubt that this means add another 1000 after reading into context, infact this shouldn't be the question arising at all except you don't know what the word "another" means.

hersweetness: 5100

bastien: more oil to your head my bros,when I talk am,people dey slap me lol

xager: ok could you post the original riddle or indicate what part of it you editted?

Finestlex: God bless you 10x10+45.. I like smart people...

leozmart: 5000.....Is the right answer!!!!!

tempest01:

ADD 20, then ANOTHER 1000

let's take you to the kitchen where you can relate....ADD pepper, then salt.

kennethgcardona: Well, easiest way to do it is to add all big number first then the smaller ones. And luckily all the ans in this one are in hundreds and thousands.So your calculation becomes really simple if you have the right way to solve them.
5100 is the correct answer. Actually, my dad is a Maths Tutor and he taught me few tricks to do these sort of additions.

somapearl: 6000

maballack: The right answer is 4100
If you look all through the statements of adding 1000, e.t.c
add was specifically stated but got to another and they only said and another......dont go assuming to add that

justi4jesu: 5100
