Problem

The table below shows the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that were used to represent different numbers.

For example, the number $32$ was represented by the hieroglyphs $\cap \cap \cap ||$. What number is represented by the following combination of hieroglyphs?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1,423 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 10,423 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 14,023 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 14,203 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 14,230$

Solution 1

The first hieroglyph is worth $10,000$, the next $4$ are worth $100$ each for $400$, the next $2$ are worth $10$ each for $20$, the next $3$ are worth $1$ for $3, 10,000 + 400 + 20 + 3 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)}~10,423}$
