203 Transferring Money

"Hmm… what is this?" his parents didn't realize what was sent to them so they opened it up on their old smartphone. "Why is the text so small? Wait for a second, let me get my glasses," his father said and left the room, leaving his mother with the phone. 

She didn't know how to zoom the picture either, so she just waited for her husband to come back with his glasses. He returned in less than a minute with a large, string-tied spectacle on his face. 

"Let's see then, what is this?" he looked at the text, but the only thing that he immediately saw was a number around 380,000. "What is this number?" he asked. 

"Look carefully, father," Alex said. 

"Alright," his father said as he looked at the picture a bit more. It didn't take him more than a second to realize he had missed a crucial symbol from the number when he read it beforehand. He had missed the $ sign.
