What was the correct answer?

This reminds me of The Music Man.

Are you sure you copied the problem correctly? Is it possibly 901 (not 1901)?

it says 1901-297

and there's another one...
how could thinking about 200 tens help you find 2004-1559?

i'm totally stumped...thanks for your help!

200 tens is 2,000.

200 tens minus 150 tens = 50 tens = 500
