You have the following number given in the exercise:


47,502

According to the information given in the exercise, the digit 4 (located in the ten thousands place) was changed to a 7. Then now it is:


77,502

In order to find how much the value would change, you must find the difference (the difference, by definition, is the result of a subtraction).

In this case, knowing the value of the digits, you can set up the following subtraction:


70,000-40,0000

Solving the subtraction, you get the following difference:


=30,000

Therefore, the answer is:


30,000
