Let's solve each problem step by step.

Problem A:
Question:
A snake was 35 inches long. Now it is 57 inches long. How much did the snake grow?
Solution:
To find out how much the snake grew, we need to subtract its original length from its current length:
\[
\text{Growth} = \text{Current length} - \text{Original length}
\]
\[
\text{Growth} = 57 \, \text{inches} - 35 \, \text{inches} = 22 \, \text{inches}
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{22}
\]

Problem B:
Question:
A ribbon was 50 cm long. After I cut some off, 37 cm was left. How much did I cut off?
Solution:
To find out how much ribbon was cut off, we need to subtract the remaining length from the original length:
\[
\text{Cut-off length} = \text{Original length} - \text{Remaining length}
\]
\[
\text{Cut-off length} = 50 \, \text{cm} - 37 \, \text{cm} = 13 \, \text{cm}
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{13}
\]

Problem C:
Question:
A baby giraffe was 36 cm tall. Another young giraffe in the enclosure was 100 cm tall. How much shorter was the baby giraffe?
Solution:
To find out how much shorter the baby giraffe is compared to the other young giraffe, we need to subtract the height of the baby giraffe from the height of the other young giraffe:
\[
\text{Difference in height} = \text{Height of the other young giraffe} - \text{Height of the baby giraffe}
\]
\[
\text{Difference in height} = 100 \, \text{cm} - 36 \, \text{cm} = 64 \, \text{cm}
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{64}
\]

Final Answers:
- Problem A: \(\boxed{22}\)
- Problem B: \(\boxed{13}\)
- Problem C: \(\boxed{64}\)
