Solution
We need to estimate 1398 - 526.
1398 > 526.
∴ We will round off these numbers to the nearest hundreds.
1398 can be rounded off to 1400.
526 can be rounded off to 500.
Estimated difference:
1400 - 500 = 900
The actual amount left with him = 1398 - 526 = 872
The difference between the estimated amount left with him, and the actual amount left with him = 900 - 872 = 28.
