Answer:

2400

Explanation:

before anything got taken away they added 200 wich means before they added that they had 2200 and if 700 pounds were removed twice that would mean the mound lost 1400 pounds and so if you add 1000 to the 1400 that they took you can find the amount that was there before.l
