Note - not a transcription of the page. The math is not laid out well. For the explanation that follows, consider line ending in "1210.74" as line 1
a) 2nd number on Line 4 is the sum of line 3 and the 1st number on Line 4
b) 3rd number on Line 4 is Line 2 minus the 2nd number on Line 3. What appears to be a minus sign is a delimiter between the 2nd and 3rd numbers on the line. 9097.20 is a positive number
c) Line 7 (10446.34) is the sum of Line 1, the 3rd # on Line 4, Lines 5 and 6.
