We are presented with 2028 and 97. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 1 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 3 and get 1.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 4 and get 2.

So, 2028 + 97 = 2125.
