give me an example of difference – the result of subtracting two quantities

Sure, here's an example:

Let's say you have 10 apples and 5 oranges. The difference between the number of apples and oranges would be the result of subtracting the quantity of oranges from the quantity of apples.

Difference = Number of Apples - Number of Oranges
Difference = 10 - 5
Difference = 5

So, in this example, the difference between the number of apples and oranges is 5.
