Option E.

100-47=53
We are left with 8 times 9's
sum of digits=9*8(times)+5+3=80

It can be helpful to work with small numbers to establish a pattern.

(10^2) - 47 = 100-47 = 53. (Sum = 5+3)

(10^3) - 47 = 1000 - 47 = 953. (Sum = 9 + 5 + 3)

(10^4) - 47 = 10,000 - 47 = 9953. (Sum = 9 + 9 + 5 + 3 = 2*9 + 5 + 3)

Now we see a pattern. The number of 9's in the sum will be two less than the exponent value. And we always have the 5 + 3.

(10^10) - 47 --> Sum = 8*9 + 5 + 3 = 80, or E
