16. Regroup and subtract.
(i) 94 − 57 = _____
(ii) 68 − 49 = _____
(iii) 47 − 38 = _____
(iv) 86 − 59 = _____
Solution:
(i) 94 − 57
= (90 + 4) − (50 + 7)
= (80 + 14) − (50 + 7)
= (80 − 50) + (14 − 7)
= 30 + 7
= 37
(ii) 68 − 49
= (60 + 8) − (40 + 9)
= (50 + 18) − (40 + 9)
= (50 − 40) + (18 − 9)
= 10 + 9
= 19
(iii) 47 − 38
= (40 + 7) − (30 + 8)
= (30 + 17) − (30 + 8)
= (30 − 30) + (17 − 8)
= 0 + 9
= 9
(iv) 86 − 59
= (80 + 6) − (50 + 9)
= (70 + 16) − (50 + 9)
= (70 − 50) + (16 − 9)
= 20 + 7
= 27
17. Find the difference between the smallest and the greatest 2-digit numbers.
Solution:
The smallest 2-digit number = 10
The greatest 2-digit number = 99
Difference = 99 − 10
= (90 + 9) − (10 + 0)
= (90 − 10) + (9 − 0)
= 80 + 9
= 89
19. Solve the following subtraction word problems:
(i) There are 97 questions in a Math workbook. Daniel solves 12 questions in a day. How many questions does he have to solve to complete the workbook?
Solution:
Number of questions in the workbook = 97
Number of questions Daniel solves = 12
Questions left to solve = 97 – 12 = 85
(ii) Alex buys 98 stickers. He wants to put 88 stickers in a box. How many single stickers are left with him?
Solution:
Number of stickers Alex buys = 98
Number of stickers put in the box = 88
Stickers left = 98 – 88 = 10
(iii) In a group of 47 children, 13 children went for a drawing competition. How many children did not go?
Solution:
Number of children in the group = 47
Number of children who went for the drawing competition = 13
Number of children who did not go = 47 – 13 = 34
(iv) Kevin had 92 pencils. He gave away 64 pencils to his classmate. How many pencils was he left with?
Solution:
Number of pencils Kevin had = 92
Number of pencils he gave away = 64
Pencils left = 92 − 64
= (90 + 2) − (60 + 4)
= (80 + 12) − (60 + 4)
= (80 − 60) + (12 − 4)
= 20 + 8
= 28
(v) Olivia went to a football game with her family and friends. There were 96 tickets sold for that game. Out of these, 76 people attended it. How many people did not attend?
Solution:
Number of tickets sold = 96
Number of people who attended = 76
Number of people who did not attend = 96 – 76 = 20
(vi) There were 155 books in a school library. If 53 books were placed on the top shelf, how many books were placed on the bottom shelf?
Solution:
Number of books in the library = 155
Number of books placed on the top shelf = 53
Number of books placed on the bottom shelf = 155 – 53 = 102
(vii) Noah had 68 dollars. He gave 42 dollars to his sister Ava. How many dollars does Noah have now?
Solution:
Number of dollars Noah had = 68
Number of dollars he gave to Ava = 42
Dollars left with Noah = 68 – 42 = 26
(viii) There are 60 students in a classroom. On one day, 23 of them remained absent. How many students were present in the classroom on that day?
Solution:
Number of students in the classroom = 60
Number of students absent = 23
Number of students present = 60 – 23 = 37
(ix) The sum of two numbers is 66. If one of the numbers is 33, find the other number.
Solution:
Sum of the two numbers = 66
One of the numbers = 33
Other number = 66 – 33 = 33
(x) 74 cupcakes were bought for a school celebration. There were 30 cupcakes left after the celebration. How many cupcakes were eaten during the celebration?
Solution:
Number of cupcakes bought = 74
Number of cupcakes left = 30
Number of cupcakes eaten = 74 – 30 = 44
(xi) There were 39 boys and 27 girls in a classroom. Who were more and how many more?
Solution:
Number of boys = 39
Number of girls = 27
Difference = 39 − 27
= (30 + 9) − (20 + 7)
= (30 − 20) + (9 − 7)
= 10 + 2
= 12
Since 39 > 27, boys were more.
Answer: Boys were more by 12.
(xii) A train carried 57 passengers. At a station, 29 of them got down on the way. How many passengers were left on the train?
Solution:
Number of passengers on the train = 57
Number of passengers who got down = 29
Passengers left on the train = 57 − 29
= (50 + 7) − (20 + 9)
= (40 + 17) − (20 + 9)
= (40 − 20) + (17 − 9)
= 20 + 8
= 28
(xiii) 568 children of a school received notebooks. 219 students received blue notebooks. The rest received red notebooks. How many students received red notebooks?
Solution:
Number of children who received notebooks = 568
Number of children who received blue notebooks = 219
Number of children who received red notebooks = 568 − 219
= (500 + 60 + 8) − (200 + 10 + 9)
= (500 + 50 + 18) − (200 + 10 + 9)
= (500 − 200) + (50 − 10) + (18 − 9)
= 300 + 40 + 9
= 349
(xiv) There are 502 seats in a theater. If 376 people attended a movie show held in the theater, how many seats were empty?
Solution:
Number of seats in the theater = 502
Number of people who attended = 376
Number of empty seats = 502 − 376
= (500 + 2) − (300 + 70 + 6)
= (400 + 100 + 2) − (300 + 70 + 6)
= (300 + 90 + 12) − (300 + 70 + 6)
= (300 − 300) + (90 − 70) + (12 − 6)
= 0 + 20 + 6
= 26
(xv) There are 866 students in a school, out of which 455 are girls. How many of the total students are boys?
Solution:
Number of students in the school = 866
Number of girls = 455
Number of boys = 866 – 455 = 411
