Suggested translation: 1,250

Mandarin: qiān-èrbǎi-wǔshí

The typical way numbers are written in classical Chinese is to place multiples before powers of ten and remainders after them, going from larger to smaller (reading the expression from left to right). Thus: 1,000 (千) + 200 (二百) + 50 (五十) = 1,250.
