Question 2

Shekhar is a famous cricket player. He has so far scored 6980 runs in test matches. He wishes to complete 10,000 runs. How many more runs does he need?

Answer 1

Shekhar is short of a few runs in order to reach the 10,000 run milestone. The number of runs he is short by will be the difference between 10,000 and 6980.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Runs to achieve}& =10000\\ \text{Runs scored}& =-6980\\ \text{Runs required}& =3020\end{array}$

Therefore, he needs 3020 more runs.
