Question

What should be subtracted from the sum of 8008, 8088 and 8808 to obtain 17863?

Answer 1

Let N be subtracted from the sum of 8008, 8088 and 8808 to obtain 17863

⇒ (8008 + 8088 + 8808) - N = 17863

$\bigstar$ 8008 + 8088 + 8808 sums up to 24904

⇒ 24904 - N = 17863

$\bigstar$ Subtracting 24904 from Both Sides

⇒ - N = 17863 - 24904

⇒ - N = -7041

$\bigstar$ Multiply -1 to both Sides

⇒ N = 7041

Answer 2

Given:

What should be subtracted from the sum of 8008, 8088, and 8808 to obtain 17863?

To Find:

The required number

Solution :

First, we need to add the given numbers:

8008

8088

+ 8808

________

24,904

________

Let the subtracted number be x

given 17,863

=> 24,904 - x = 17,863

=> -x = 17,863 - 24,904

=> - x = -7041

=> x = 7041

Hence, the required number is 7041
