下表展示了古埃及象形文字用于表示不同数字的符号。例如，数字 $32$ 用象形文字 $\cap \cap \cap ||$ 表示。以下象形文字组合表示的数字是多少？

(A) \ 1,423 \ 1,423

(B) \ 10,423 \ 10,423

(D) \ 14,203 \ 14,203

(E) \ 14,230 \ 14,230

Answer

Correct choice: (B)

正确答案：（B）

Solution

The first hieroglyph is worth $10,000$, the next 4 are worth $100 \cdot 4 = 400$, the next $2$ are worth $10 \cdot 2 = 20$, and the last $3$ are worth $1 \cdot 3 = 3$. Therefore, the answer is $10,000 + 400 + 20 + 3 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 10,423}$

第一个象形文字值 $10,000$，接下来的 4 个值 $100 \cdot 4 = 400$，接下来的 $2$ 个值 $10 \cdot 2 = 20$，最后 $3$ 个值 $1 \cdot 3 = 3$。因此，总数为 $10,000 + 400 + 20 + 3 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 10,423}$。
