\nIf you got 5000, you\u2019re not alone. This mistake happens because of the way our brains naturally group numbers.\n\n
\nLet\u2019s carefully add each number to ensure accuracy.\n
\n1000\n
\n1000 + 40 = 1040\n
\n1040 + 1000 = 2040\n
\n2040 + 30 = 2070\n
\n2070 + 1000 = 3070\n
\n3070 + 20 = 3090\n
\n3090 + 1000 = 4090\n
\n4090 + 10 = 4100\n
