Answer:

The difference is aproximately 3700.

Explanation:

First, we'll round each number to the nearest hundred:


\begin{gathered} 7472\rightarrow7500 \\ 3827\rightarrow3800 \end{gathered}

Now, we can estimate the difference:


7500-3800=3700

This way, we can conlcude that the difference is aproximately 3700.
