A logistics coordinator is using a standard problem-solving strategy to model a shipping delay. The report states: 'The difference of the scheduled delivery time and the actual delivery time is 4 hours.' Which mathematical operation is signaled by the keyword 'difference' when translating this statement into an equation?

When translating a professional report into a mathematical equation, the keyword 'difference' (such as 'the difference of the starting balance and the final balance') signals that the operation of ____ must be used.

A payroll clerk is calculating a base salary based on the following report: 'The difference of the base salary and a 500 dollar insurance deduction is 2,500 dollars.' Arrange the steps in the correct order to find the base salary using the standard problem-solving strategy.

A logistics coordinator is documenting a weight discrepancy in a warehouse report. The report states: 'The difference of the total shipment weight (w) and the weight of the empty pallet (50 lbs) is 900 lbs.' Which algebraic equation correctly translates this professional report into a mathematical model?

A logistics coordinator is verifying a fuel consumption report which states: 'The difference of the total fuel loaded ($f$) and the fuel consumed during the trip (120 gallons) is 480 gallons.' After solving the equation $f - 120 = 480$, the coordinator determines that the total fuel loaded was 600 gallons. According to the standard problem-solving strategy, which calculation correctly performs the 'Check' step to verify this result?
