Like addition, we can also estimate the difference by using the concept of rounding off.

Example 1. Estimate the difference of 64 and 87 by rounding them to the nearest 10.
Then compare their actual difference and estimated difference.
Solution. Actual difference Estimated difference Comparison

round off
8 7 9 0 23 < 30
– 6 4 round off – 6 0

2 3 3 0

The estimated difference is greater than the actual difference.
