Step-by-step solution for: Addition online exercise for Grade 3
Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’ll do addition first, then subtraction.
---
Addition Problems:
1. 996 + 978
Start from the right (ones place):
- 6 + 8 = 14 → write down 4, carry over 1
- 9 + 7 + 1 (carry) = 17 → write down 7, carry over 1
- 9 + 9 + 1 (carry) = 19 → write down 19
→ 1974
2. 896 + 968
- 6 + 8 = 14 → write 4, carry 1
- 9 + 6 + 1 = 16 → write 6, carry 1
- 8 + 9 + 1 = 18 → write 18
→ 1864
3. 795 + 998
- 5 + 8 = 13 → write 3, carry 1
- 9 + 9 + 1 = 19 → write 9, carry 1
- 7 + 9 + 1 = 17 → write 17
→ 1793
4. 598 + 958
- 8 + 8 = 16 → write 6, carry 1
- 9 + 5 + 1 = 15 → write 5, carry 1
- 5 + 9 + 1 = 15 → write 15
→ 1556
5. 597 + 938
- 7 + 8 = 15 → write 5, carry 1
- 9 + 3 + 1 = 13 → write 3, carry 1
- 5 + 9 + 1 = 15 → write 15
→ 1535
6. 596 + 928
- 6 + 8 = 14 → write 4, carry 1
- 9 + 2 + 1 = 12 → write 2, carry 1
- 5 + 9 + 1 = 15 → write 15
→ 1524

Subtraction Problems:
1. 926 - 658
Start from right:
- 6 - 8 → can’t do, borrow from tens. Tens is 2, so borrow from hundreds.
- Hundreds: 9 becomes 8
- Tens: 2 becomes 12
- Now ones: 6 becomes 16 → 16 - 8 = 8
- Tens: 12 - 5 = 7 (but we borrowed, so it’s now 1? Wait — let’s redo carefully)
Actually:
Write it as:
```
926
- 658
-----
```
Ones: 6 < 8 → borrow from tens. But tens digit is 2 → need to borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 9 → 8
Tens: 2 → 12
Now ones: 6 → 16 → 16 - 8 = 8
Tens: 12 - 5 = 7? Wait — no! After borrowing, tens became 12, but we used 1 for ones, so tens are now 11? No — actually:
When you borrow from tens to ones, the tens digit reduces by 1.
But since tens was 2 and we had to borrow for ones, we must borrow from hundreds first.
So:
- Hundreds: 9 → 8
- Tens: 2 → 12
- Then borrow 1 from tens to ones → tens become 11, ones become 16
Now:
Ones: 16 - 8 = 8
Tens: 11 - 5 = 6
Hundreds: 8 - 6 = 2
→ 268
Wait — let me check with another method:
926 - 658 = ?
658 + 268 = 658 + 200 = 858; 858 + 68 = 926 → yes! Correct.
→ 268
2. 835 - 368
```
835
- 368
-----
```
Ones: 5 < 8 → borrow from tens. Tens is 3 → borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 8 → 7
Tens: 3 → 13
Then borrow 1 from tens to ones → tens become 12, ones become 15
Ones: 15 - 8 = 7
Tens: 12 - 6 = 6
Hundreds: 7 - 3 = 4
→ 467
Check: 368 + 467 = 368 + 400 = 768; 768 + 67 = 835 → correct.
→ 467
3. 956 - 598
```
956
- 598
-----
```
Ones: 6 < 8 → borrow from tens. Tens is 5 → borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 9 → 8
Tens: 5 → 15
Borrow 1 to ones → tens become 14, ones become 16
Ones: 16 - 8 = 8
Tens: 14 - 9 = 5
Hundreds: 8 - 5 = 3
→ 358
Check: 598 + 358 = 598 + 300 = 898; 898 + 58 = 956 → correct.
→ 358
4. 923 - 567
```
923
- 567
-----
```
Ones: 3 < 7 → borrow from tens. Tens is 2 → borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 9 → 8
Tens: 2 → 12
Borrow 1 to ones → tens become 11, ones become 13
Ones: 13 - 7 = 6
Tens: 11 - 6 = 5
Hundreds: 8 - 5 = 3
→ 356
Check: 567 + 356 = 567 + 300 = 867; 867 + 56 = 923 → correct.
→ 356
5. 753 - 378
```
753
- 378
-----
```
Ones: 3 < 8 → borrow from tens. Tens is 5 → okay.
Tens: 5 → 4
Ones: 3 → 13 → 13 - 8 = 5
Tens: 4 < 7 → borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 7 → 6
Tens: 4 → 14 → 14 - 7 = 7
Hundreds: 6 - 3 = 3
→ 375
Check: 378 + 375 = 378 + 300 = 678; 678 + 75 = 753 → correct.
→ 375
6. 823 - 386
```
823
- 386
-----
```
Ones: 3 < 6 → borrow from tens. Tens is 2 → borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 8 → 7
Tens: 2 → 12
Borrow 1 to ones → tens become 11, ones become 13
Ones: 13 - 6 = 7
Tens: 11 - 8 = 3
Hundreds: 7 - 3 = 4
→ 437
Check: 386 + 437 = 386 + 400 = 786; 786 + 37 = 823 → correct.
→ 437
