203

With regrouping: 1 borrow — from the tens

250 − 47 in a column. Above the columns: the values after borrowing — a crossed-out digit is replaced by the number above it; +10 marks a column that received a borrowed ten.
			4	+10
		2	5(was 5, now 4)	0 (was 0, now 10)
	−		4	7
		2	0	3

Column by column: 250 − 47

Ones: 0 is less than 7 — borrow 1 ten: tens 5 → 4; 10 − 7 = 3 — write 3.
Tens: after borrowing, 4; 4 − 4 = 0 — write 0.
Hundreds: nothing to subtract — write 2.

250 − 47 = 203
