As shown it's 3,100.
There are 3 terms of 1000;
40+30+20+10 = 100
Is there a typo?

I got 3100.

However I've seen similar trick questions; the addition usually goes in order instead of adding the whole thing up at once. It's more of a psychological trick than anything else.

It adds to 3000.
I don't see any trick.
