                    Example 1.  There are 5009  bags  of  rice  in  a  godown. If 3639
                    bags are taken out, how many bags will remain in the godown?
                    Solution.

                    Total number of bags in the godown                     =       5 0 0 9
                    Number of bags taken out from the godown =                  – 3 6 3 9
                    Number of remaining bags in the godown                 =        1 3 7 0

                    Therefore, 1370 bags of rice will remain in the godown.
                    Example 2. Out of 8250 toys in his shop, the shopkeeper sold 4321 toys in a particular
                    month. How many toys are left with him?

                    Solution.

                    Total number of toys                =       8 2 5 0

                    Number of toys sold                 =    – 4 3 2 1
                    Number of toys left with him =               3 9 2 9

                    Thus, the shopkeeper has 3929 toys left.
