Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total books=528, 741

Sold books=3,582

Give away books=863

The total books out of the shop is

=Books sold +give away books

=3582+863

=4445 books

Part A

About how many books are left in the store?

To the nearest thousand

The

Total books=528, 741

=529000

The total books out of the shop=4445

=4000

=529000-4000

=525000

There are about books 525000 left in the store.

Part B

Use the standard subtraction algorithm to find the exact number of books left in the store.

=528, 741 - 4445

=524296

There are 524296books left in the store

The difference between the part A and B is

=525000-524296

=-704

I will say that the answer is not reasonable because the difference is almost Close to a thousand
