Question

What number can you subtract from 3200 so that their differences can give a 4digit number that has: the digit 2 in the thousands place, the digit 3 in the hundreds place and zeros in the tens and ones place?

Answer 1

To find the number that can be subtracted from 3200 to give a 4-digit number with the given conditions, we need to find a number that has a 2 in the thousands place, a 3 in the hundreds place, and zeros in the tens and ones place.

The four-digit number we are looking for can be expressed as 2000 + 300 + 0 + 0 = 2300.

So, to find the number that can be subtracted from 3200 to give us 2300, we subtract 2300 from 3200:

3200 - 2300 = 900

Therefore, the number that can be subtracted from 3200 to give us a 4-digit number with a 2 in the thousands place, a 3 in the hundreds place, and zeros in the tens and ones place is 900.
