Here's the solution to the subtraction problem.

Set up the subtraction problem.
The problem is to subtract 482 from 800.
$\begin{array}{r} 800 \\ - 482 \\ \hline \end{array}$
Subtract the ones column.
We cannot subtract 2 from 0. We need to borrow from the tens place. Since the tens place is also 0, we borrow from the hundreds place.
The 8 in the hundreds place becomes 7.
The 0 in the tens place becomes 10.
Now, borrow from the tens place for the ones place.
The 10 in the tens place becomes 9.
The 0 in the ones place becomes 10.
So, $10 - 2 = 8$ .
$\begin{array}{r} \cancel{8}^7 \cancel{0}^9 \cancel{0}^{10} \\ - 482 \\ \hline 8 \end{array}$
Subtract the tens column.
We now have 9 in the tens place.
$9 - 8 = 1$ .
$\begin{array}{r} \cancel{8}^7 \cancel{0}^9 \cancel{0}^{10} \\ - 482 \\ \hline 18 \end{array}$
Subtract the hundreds column.
We now have 7 in the hundreds place.
$7 - 4 = 3$ .
$\begin{array}{r} \cancel{8}^7 \cancel{0}^9 \cancel{0}^{10} \\ - 482 \\ \hline 318 \end{array}$
The result of the subtraction is 318.
