Estimate. Then find the difference.
253,495-48,617=
Answer:
Difference of the two numbers will be 204878.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is (253495 - 48617)
We have to calculate the difference of two numbers of the expression.
We can rewrite the numbers as
253495 = 2×100000 + 53×10000 + 4×100 + 95
048617 = 0×100000 + 48×10000 + 6×100 + 17
We can subtract these numbers to find difference
253495 - 048617 = (2×100000 - 0×100000) + (53×1000 - 48×1000) + (4×100 - 6×100) + (95 - 17)
= 100000(2 - 0) + 1000(53 - 48) + 100(4 - 6) + 78
= 2×100000 + 5×1000 - 2×100 + 78
= 200000 + 5000 - 200 + 78
= 2050000 - 122
= 204878
