No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 38505 and are subtracting 8502 from it.

Step 1: We'll start by subtracting the digit 2 and the borrow 0 from 5 in column 1 and get 3.
3 is the first digit of our result.

Step 2: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 0 in column 2 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

Step 3: We'll start by subtracting the digit 5 and the borrow 0 from 5 in column 3 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

Step 4: We'll start by subtracting the digit 8 and the borrow 0 from 8 in column 4 and get 0.
0 is the next digit of our result.

Step 5: We'll start by subtracting the digit 0 and the borrow 0 from 3 in column 5 and get 3.
3 is the next digit of our result.

So, 38505 - 8502 = 30003.
