You could make an argument that the grammar leaves us with 10. They lack of a comma at several points makes the writing change.

    It's pretty easy to see how.

    For it to be 4100, you assume the "again" and "and finally" means the same as "add". so "again 1000" and "and finally 10", are what people are leaving out.

    The only answer to this problem is to slap the person(s) who pose it. Such a person is innumerate. Math is used to solve problems. In doing so, there are proper and unambiguous approaches to do so. What is the actual problem to be solved? Just writing a string of numbers and asking to solve them is not correct if it is not done properly. The onus is on the person posing the question to do so correctly. I.E.: is the problem to be solved 48÷(2(9+3)) or (48÷2)(9+3)? As such, I suppose WhT? is the best choice.
