Answer:

Explanation:

The thousand mark is the 4th number when going from right to left. So it would be the {6},976. When it comes to rounding, you go "5 and above, give it a shove, 4 and below, let it go. 6,976 rounded to the nearest thousand is 7,000, 3,983 rounded to the nearest thousand is 4,000, 13,560 rounded is 14,000.

7,000 + 4,000+ 14,000 = 25,000
