Explain how to use compensation to find the difference of 30000 and 6985

Compensation is the process of reformulating an addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problem to one that can be computed more easily mentally.

We will use compensation to find the difference of 30,000 and 6985.

Since, we have to evaluate 30,000 - 6,985

Let us add '15' to 6985,

6,985 + 15 = 7,000

Let us add '15' to 30,000

30,000 + 15 = 30,015

Now, we have to subtract 30,015  and 7,000

= 30,015 - 7,000

= 23,015

Therefore, the difference of 6,985 from 30,000 is 23,015.
