We are presented with 3800 and 7717. Let's work out the sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 2 and get 1.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 7 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3800 + 7717 = 11517.
