In this subtraction, PR5T and 47Y6 represent 4-digit numbers. What number does PR5T represent?

PR5T - 47Y6 = 1998

PR5T represents 6754.

P = 6

R = 7

T = 4

Y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to understand the subtraction starting from the unit's digit.

   P R 5 T

-  4 7 Y 6

    1 9 9 8

To get 8, 6 should be subtracted from 14

14 - 6 = 8

So, T should be equal unit digit of 14 i.e. T = 4 and 1 should be carried over from the ten's digit of PR5T.

Now, let us move to ten's digit:

   P R 5 4

-  4 7 Y 6

    1 9 9 8

To get 9, 6 should be subtracted from 15. But 1 is already carried to unit's place So, we have actually 14 here

14 - Y = 9

So, Y = 5

Moving to hundred's place:

R - carry - 7 = 9

Carry is 1, so R = unit's place of 9 + 8 i.e. R = 7

Moving to thousand's place:

P - carry - 4 = 1

Here carry is 1

So, P = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6

So, the number PR5T is 6754.
