Crossword Genius

Announced, in addition, the figure (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

two

'the figure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'announced in addition' is the wordplay.
'announced' shows a homophone (sound like).
'in addition' becomes 'too' (I've seen this before).
'too' sounds like 'TWO'.

(Other definitions for two that I've seen before include "Minimal number of partners" , "2" , "Company allegedly" , "Couple, brace" , "'It takes ? to tango'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
