Let's break this down. We're going to add 480 and 2940 together.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 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 4 & 9 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 4 and get 3.

So, 480 + 2940 = 3420.
