Answer:

10

Explanation:

The 7 in 27,459 is in the thousands place.

The 7 in 40,735 is in the hundreds place.

Any digit in the thousands place has 10 times the value of the same digit in the hundreds place. (The multiplier is 1000, instead of 100.)

_____

In the base-10 number system, each digit location has 10 times the value of the location to its right. The value is determined by the place the digit occupies in the number. That is why it is called a place-value number system.
