Answer 1

Are you sure you worded the question correctly?

It seems too easy.

They have 450 clients.

Their goal is to add 50 clients.

Therefore they will have 500 clients when they reach their goal of adding 50 clients.  I just added 450 and 50.

Answer 2

500. 450 + 50. We do not add dollars to count clients.

Answer 3

500 clients. According to the question, the only thing you are seeking is to find out how many clients they will have if they successfully add 50 more clients.  The other information means nothing except to distract you from the main question.  

They have 450 clients

They add     50 clients

The total    500 clients

Answer 4

H  they  have 450 clients, and are adding 50  the money amount is useless info
