Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll go egg by egg, from top left to bottom right.
---
First row:
1.
405 – 71
Start from the ones place: 5 – 1 = 4
Tens place: 0 – 7 → can’t do that, so borrow from hundreds.
405 becomes 3 (hundreds), 10 (tens), 5 (ones) → now tens is 10, but we need to subtract 7 → 10 – 7 = 3
Hundreds: 3 – 0 = 3
So, 405 – 71 =
334
2.
250 – 97
Ones: 0 – 7 → can’t do, borrow from tens. But tens is 5, so make it 4 and give 10 to ones → 10 – 7 = 3
Tens: 4 – 9 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 2 becomes 1, tens become 14 → 14 – 9 = 5
Hundreds: 1 – 0 = 1
So, 250 – 97 =
153
3.
122 – 88
Ones: 2 – 8 → can’t do, borrow from tens. Tens is 2, becomes 1, ones become 12 → 12 – 8 = 4
Tens: 1 – 8 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 1 becomes 0, tens become 11 → 11 – 8 = 3
Hundreds: 0 – 0 = 0 (we don’t write leading zero)
So, 122 – 88 =
34
---
Second row:
4.
757 – 67
Ones: 7 – 7 = 0
Tens: 5 – 6 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 7 becomes 6, tens become 15 → 15 – 6 = 9
Hundreds: 6 – 0 = 6
So, 757 – 67 =
690
5.
128 – 34
Ones: 8 – 4 = 4
Tens: 2 – 3 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 1 becomes 0, tens become 12 → 12 – 3 = 9
Hundreds: 0 – 0 = 0
So, 128 – 34 =
94
6.
562 – 85
Ones: 2 – 5 → can’t do, borrow from tens. Tens is 6, becomes 5, ones become 12 → 12 – 5 = 7
Tens: 5 – 8 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 5 becomes 4, tens become 15 → 15 – 8 = 7
Hundreds: 4 – 0 = 4
So, 562 – 85 =
477
---
Third row:
7.
222 – 38
Ones: 2 – 8 → can’t do, borrow from tens. Tens is 2, becomes 1, ones become 12 → 12 – 8 = 4
Tens: 1 – 3 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 2 becomes 1, tens become 11 → 11 – 3 = 8
Hundreds: 1 – 0 = 1
So, 222 – 38 =
184
8.
205 – 77
Ones: 5 – 7 → can’t do, borrow from tens. But tens is 0, so we have to borrow from hundreds first.
Hundreds: 2 becomes 1, tens become 10. Now borrow from tens for ones: tens become 9, ones become 15 → 15 – 7 = 8
Tens: 9 – 7 = 2
Hundreds: 1 – 0 = 1
So, 205 – 77 =
128
9.
329 – 68
Ones: 9 – 8 = 1
Tens: 2 – 6 → can’t do, borrow from hundreds. 3 becomes 2, tens become 12 → 12 – 6 = 6
Hundreds: 2 – 0 = 2
So, 329 – 68 =
261
