If I wanted to turn 15,000 into a variable I could use for math operations, like 15000, how would I do that?
Basically I just want the commas stripped from the number so I could use the number itself for operations.

If you're capturing the 15,000 from mud output, you can use - %n

For example,

Pattern: You have (%n) pennies.
Value: #VAR money %1

You can do this by combining %replace() to remove the commas and %number() to convert the string to a number.
#VAR temp1 {15,000}
#MATH temp2 {%number(%replace( {@temp1}, ",", "")) + 27}

@temp2 equals 15027.
Both functions are needed, as can be seen with a little experimentation.
Without %number() @temp2 equals 1500027.
Without %replace, @temp2 equals 27.
Without either, @temp2 equals 15,00027.

As Lain said, you can use %n in trigger patterns to avoid all this.
