Question

Find the difference between 900 and 247

Answer 1

Answer:

$653$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the difference between $900$ and $247$ is equal to subtract $247$ from  $900$

so

$900-247$

remember that

$247=200+40+5+2$

substitute in the expression above

$900-247=900-(200+40+5+2)$

$=900-200-40-5-2$ ------>  $=(900-200)-40-5-2$

$=700-40-5-2$ -----> $=(700-40)-5-2$

$=660-5-2$ ----->  $=(660-5)-2$

$=655-2$

$=653$

Answer 2

The difference is that 900 is bigger than 247
