Step-by-step solution for: Easter Math Worksheets
Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll go egg by egg, from top left to bottom right.
---
Egg 1: 405 - 71
Start from the ones place:
5 - 1 = 4 → write down 4
Tens place:
0 - 7 → can’t do that! So borrow from hundreds.
405 becomes 3 (hundreds), 10 (tens), 5 (ones) — but we already used the 5. Actually, let’s rewrite:
405
- 71
= ?
Borrowing:
Hundreds: 4 → 3
Tens: 0 → 10, but we need to subtract 7, so actually:
We borrow 1 from hundreds → tens become 10, then borrow 1 from tens for ones? Wait — no, ones is fine.
Actually:
Ones: 5 - 1 = 4
Tens: 0 - 7 → can’t do → borrow from hundreds.
So hundreds digit 4 becomes 3, tens digit 0 becomes 10.
Now 10 - 7 = 3
Hundreds: 3 - 0 = 3 (since 71 has no hundreds)
Wait — 71 is 0 hundreds, 7 tens, 1 one.
So:
405
- 71
------
Start from right:
Ones: 5 - 1 = 4
Tens: 0 - 7 → borrow from hundreds → 4 becomes 3, 0 becomes 10 → 10 - 7 = 3
Hundreds: 3 - 0 = 3
Answer: 334
✔ Check: 334 + 71 = 405 → yes!
---
Egg 2: 250 - 97
Ones: 0 - 7 → can’t do → borrow from tens. But tens is 5 → becomes 4, ones becomes 10 → 10 - 7 = 3
Tens: 4 (after borrowing) - 9 → can’t do → borrow from hundreds.
Hundreds: 2 → 1, tens: 4 → 14 → 14 - 9 = 5
Hundreds: 1 - 0 = 1
Answer: 153
✔ Check: 153 + 97 = 250 → yes!
---
Egg 3: 122 - 88
Ones: 2 - 8 → can’t → borrow from tens. Tens is 2 → becomes 1, ones becomes 12 → 12 - 8 = 4
Tens: 1 (after borrow) - 8 → can’t → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds: 1 → 0, tens: 1 → 11 → 11 - 8 = 3
Hundreds: 0 - 0 = 0 → don’t write it
Answer: 34
✔ Check: 34 + 88 = 122 → yes!
---
Egg 4: 757 - 67
Ones: 7 - 7 = 0
Tens: 5 - 6 → can’t → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds: 7 → 6, tens: 5 → 15 → 15 - 6 = 9
Hundreds: 6 - 0 = 6
Answer: 690
✔ Check: 690 + 67 = 757 → yes!
---
Egg 5: 128 - 34
Ones: 8 - 4 = 4
Tens: 2 - 3 → can’t → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds: 1 → 0, tens: 2 → 12 → 12 - 3 = 9
Hundreds: 0 → ignore
Answer: 94
✔ Check: 94 + 34 = 128 → yes!
---
Egg 6: 542 - 85
Ones: 2 - 5 → can’t → borrow from tens. Tens: 4 → 3, ones: 12 → 12 - 5 = 7
Tens: 3 - 8 → can’t → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds: 5 → 4, tens: 3 → 13 → 13 - 8 = 5
Hundreds: 4 - 0 = 4
Answer: 457
✔ Check: 457 + 85 = 542 → yes!
---
Egg 7: 222 - 38
Ones: 2 - 8 → can’t → borrow from tens. Tens: 2 → 1, ones: 12 → 12 - 8 = 4
Tens: 1 - 3 → can’t → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds: 2 → 1, tens: 1 → 11 → 11 - 3 = 8
Hundreds: 1 - 0 = 1
Answer: 184
✔ Check: 184 + 38 = 222 → yes!
---
Egg 8: 205 - 77
Ones: 5 - 7 → can’t → borrow from tens. But tens is 0 → so must borrow from hundreds first.
Hundreds: 2 → 1
Tens: 0 → 10, but we need to lend to ones → so tens become 9, ones become 15 → 15 - 7 = 8
Tens: 9 - 7 = 2
Hundreds: 1 - 0 = 1
Answer: 128
✔ Check: 128 + 77 = 205 → yes!
---
Egg 9: 329 - 68
Ones: 9 - 8 = 1
Tens: 2 - 6 → can’t → borrow from hundreds. Hundreds: 3 → 2, tens: 2 → 12 → 12 - 6 = 6
Hundreds: 2 - 0 = 2
Answer: 261
✔ Check: 261 + 68 = 329 → yes!

Egg 1: 405 - 71
Start from the ones place:
5 - 1 = 4 → write down 4
Tens place:
0 - 7 → can’t do that! So borrow from hundreds.
405 becomes 3 (hundreds), 10 (tens), 5 (ones) — but we already used the 5. Actually, let’s rewrite:
405
- 71
= ?
Borrowing:
Hundreds: 4 → 3
Tens: 0 → 10, but we need to subtract 7, so actually:
We borrow 1 from hundreds → tens become 10, then borrow 1 from tens for ones? Wait — no, ones is fine.
Actually:
Ones: 5 - 1 = 4
Tens: 0 - 7 → can’t do → borrow from hundreds.
So hundreds digit 4 becomes 3, tens digit 0 becomes 10.
Now 10 - 7 = 3
Hundreds: 3 - 0 = 3 (since 71 has no hundreds)
Wait — 71 is 0 hundreds, 7 tens, 1 one.
So:
405
- 71
------
Start from right:
Ones: 5 - 1 = 4
Tens: 0 - 7 → borrow from hundreds → 4 becomes 3, 0 becomes 10 → 10 - 7 = 3
Hundreds: 3 - 0 = 3
Answer: 334
✔ Check: 334 + 71 = 405 → yes!

Hundreds: 2 → 1, tens: 4 → 14 → 14 - 9 = 5
Hundreds: 1 - 0 = 1
Answer: 153
✔ Check: 153 + 97 = 250 → yes!
