Just add them up using the calculator:
1000 + 5999 + 9888 = 16887
Or if you don't have a calculator:
*111
---------
**1000
+5999
+9888
=====
16887

Don't ask the jerks on Yahoo! Answers, all they'll do is make fun of you:
Just type 1,000 + 5,999 + 9,888 in the Google search bar and you'll get the answer!

If you do not like calculators try this:
1,000 + 5,999 + 9,888
==> 1,000 + (6,000 - 1) + (10,000 - 112)
==> 1,000 + 6,000 + 10,000 - 1 - 112
==> 17,000 - 113
==> 17,000 - 100 - 10 - 3
==> 16,900 -10 - 3
==> 16,890 - 3
==> 16,887

You can do it conventionally, or using this method:
1) notice that 5,999 is 1 less than 6,000
2) notice that 9,888 is 2 less than 9,890
3) if you add 1,000 + 6,000, you will get 7,000
4) if you add 7,000 + 9,890, you will get 16,890
5) now all you got to do is 16,890 - 1 - 2 = 16,887

it will be easy if you write the greatest number at the top first:
9 888
5 999 + (8 + 9 = 17)
1 000
---------
16887
--------
or you can add 5 999 and 1000 first,you will get 6 999. then you add this answer to 9 888 and you will get 16 887

You asked "what is".

I suppose you want me to add this up. But, what good would it be to have the same answer as the rest of the participants in your survey. Hmmmmm. I just cant win at this game.
