We've got two numbers: 3040 and 9725. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3040 + 9725 = 12765.
