Given:
[tex]26,445-7912[/tex]First, we will round each number to the nearest thousand then subtract the numbers:
Rounding of 26,445 to the nearest thousand = 26,000
Rounding of 7,912 to the nearest thousand = 8,000
So, the operation will be:
[tex]26,000-8,000=18,000[/tex]So, the answer will be 18,000
