Before posting your problems, you should consider proper formatting.
​$29 comma 000 should be $29,000
$2 comma 600 should be $2,000
Writing out comma only makes your problem more complicated.

Why spell out comma?

In that version the word "comma" was absent, so I solved it.

In this version, the word "comma" does present, therefore I didn't touch it.


The meaning of this word is in that they obtain the message by phone from somewhere and from some-whom
and then print and post it to the forum. They print it as they hear it, word-in-word.

When they obtain our solution, they dispatch it to the address they know.

That's all. Clear as a day.
