Bob interpreted the question as 8583/10,000, which would be 0.8583.

Because there is a space between the 8 and the 583, what is asked for is
8 (and) 583/10,000
which is 8.0583

Sometimes it is hard to read math expressions written with the same font size on the same line, where a tiny space can make a big difference.
Thanks, DrWLS, for clarifying this.
