Explanation

Between 700 and 800, there are 99 numbers (701-799). Similarly, between 7000 and 8000, there are 999 numbers (7001-7999). The pattern is: between any two consecutive hundreds (like 700 and 800), there are 99 numbers. Between any two consecutive thousands (like 7000 and 8000), there are 999 numbers. The answer is 999.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Between 700 and 800, numbers are 701, 702, ..., 799

  2. Step 2: Count: 799 - 701 + 1 = 99 numbers

  3. Step 3: Between 7000 and 8000, numbers are 7001, 7002, ..., 7999

  4. Step 4: Count: 7999 - 7001 + 1 = 999 numbers
