    You "have" the 10000, just in 3 different places. So there wording is important here.

    Yes. You are correct.

    Your teacher could have specified the 10000 was in your pocket, you put 5000 in the bank and 2500 in your drawer. How much was left in your pocket.

    As it was worded, YOU ARE CORRECT.
