Given the data:


\begin{gathered} AP=13 \\ AB=27 \end{gathered}

Since P is between A and B

Then

we can represent this as follow


\begin{gathered} AB=AP+PB \\ 27=13+x \end{gathered}

Collecting like terms


\begin{gathered} x=27-13 \\ x=14 \end{gathered}

Therefore, PB=x=14

Hence, PB= 14 units
