• A. 23000
• B. 3,700
• C. 2300
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2300

The given number is $423,756$.

Lets determine the place value of the digits 3 and 7 in the given number:

We can observe that 3 is in the thousands place and 7 is in the hundreds place.

Therefore,
Place value of $7$ in the hundreds place
$7\times 100=700$
Place value of $3$ in the thousands place
$3\times 1000=3000$

Now, we will subtract $700$ from $3000$.Hence, the difference between the place values of the digits 3 and $7$ is $3000-700=2300$.
