Answer:


500

Explanation:

In order to estimate difference for two given numbers, we round each number to the nearest multiple of
100 and perform subtraction with the new rounded number.

∴ by rounding
738 we will obtain
700 and by rounding
227 we will obtain
200

Now performing subtraction between these rounded numbers, we will get-


700 - 200 = 500

∴ Estimate difference between
738 and
227 will be
500
