2 Digit Subtraction Coloring Worksheets - Worksheet School - Free Printable

Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’ll go one by one and write down the answer for each.

---

Top row (left to right):

1. 66 - 48 = ?
Think: 66 minus 40 is 26, then minus 8 more → 26 - 8 = 18

2. 79 - 61 = ?
79 - 60 = 19, then minus 1 → 19 - 1 = 18

3. 34 - 16 = ?
34 - 10 = 24, then minus 6 → 24 - 6 = 18

4. 40 - 18 = ?
40 - 10 = 30, then minus 8 → 30 - 8 = 22

---

Second row:

5. 69 - 47 = ?
69 - 40 = 29, then minus 7 → 29 - 7 = 22

6. 68 - 41 = ?
68 - 40 = 28, then minus 1 → 28 - 1 = 27

7. 52 - 38 = ?
52 - 30 = 22, then minus 8 → 22 - 8 = 14

8. 48 - 21 = ?
48 - 20 = 28, then minus 1 → 28 - 1 = 27

9. 21 - 14 = ?
21 - 10 = 11, then minus 4 → 11 - 4 = 7

---

Third row:

10. 51 + 43 = ? ← Wait! This is addition? But the worksheet says “2-Digit Subtraction”. Let me check again…
Actually, looking at the image, it might be a typo or misread — but in the original problem list, all are subtractions except this one? Hmm.
But wait — let’s look carefully: The user wrote “51+43=” — that’s addition. But the title is “2-Digit Subtraction”. Maybe it’s a mistake? Or maybe it’s part of the puzzle?
Since the code only gives colors for numbers like 7, 14, 18, 19, 22, 27 — and 51+43=94, which isn’t in the code — perhaps it’s meant to be subtraction?
Let me double-check the original image description...
Actually, in the user’s text, it says:
> 51+43=
But in context, since everything else is subtraction, and 51-43 would make sense...
Let’s assume it’s a typo and should be 51 - 43.
51 - 40 = 11, then minus 3 → 11 - 3 = 8 — but 8 is not in the code either.
Wait — maybe I misread. Let me check the actual positions.

Actually, let’s just do what’s written:
If it’s 51 + 43, then 51 + 40 = 91, +3 = 94 — but 94 is not in the color code. So likely it’s a subtraction error.

Looking back at common worksheets, sometimes there’s a mix-up. But let’s stick to what’s given — if it says “+”, we do addition. But since the code doesn’t have 94, maybe it’s supposed to be 51 - 43?

Wait — let’s look at the next ones to see pattern.

But actually, let’s proceed with calculation as written, and if the result isn’t in the code, we’ll note it.

But hold on — let’s re-express: Perhaps the “+” is a misprint and should be “-”. Because 51 - 43 = 8 — still not in code.
Alternatively, maybe it’s 51 - 34? No.

Wait — let’s skip for now and come back.

Actually, let’s list all problems as given and calculate:

From user input:

> 51+43= → 94 (not in code)
> 32-18= → 14
> 63-49= → 14
> 67-53= → 14
> 53-26= → 27
> 51-42= → 9 (not in code) — wait, 51-42=9? 51-40=11, -2=9 — yes. Not in code.

This is confusing. Maybe some are additions? But the title is subtraction.

Perhaps the “+” is a typo and should be “-”. Let’s assume that for consistency.

So let’s correct:

Assume 51 - 43 = 8 — still not in code.

Wait — let’s look at the code again:

Code:
c → 7 = orange
o → 14 = blue
d → 18 = orange
e → 19 = black
→ 22 = orange
→ 27 = blue

So possible answers are only: 7, 14, 18, 19, 22, 27

So any problem that results in other numbers might be errors or need rechecking.

Let’s recalculate every problem carefully and only keep those that match the code.

List all problems from user input:

Row 1:
66-48=18 ✔
79-61=18 ✔
34-16=18 ✔
40-18=22 ✔

Row 2:
69-47=22 ✔
68-41=27 ✔
52-38=14 ✔
48-21=27 ✔
21-14=7 ✔

Row 3:
51+43= ? → if addition, 94 ✘; if subtraction 51-43=8 ✘ — problem?
Wait — perhaps it’s 51 - 34? No.
Maybe it’s 51 - 43 is wrong — let’s check position. In many such puzzles, it’s always subtraction. Perhaps it’s 51 - 43 = 8 — but 8 not in code.
Alternatively, maybe it’s 51 - 32? No.

Wait — let’s look at the next one:

32-18=14 ✔
63-49=14 ✔
67-53=14 ✔
53-26=27 ✔
51-42=9 ✘ — 51-42=9, not in code.

Hmm.

Perhaps the “51+43” is actually “51-43” and we accept 8, but it’s not colored. Or maybe it’s a different operation.

Another idea: perhaps the “+” is a miswrite and it’s “51 - 43” but we miscalculated? 51-43: 51-40=11, 11-3=8 — yes.

But 8 is not in code. Similarly, 51-42=9 not in code.

Let’s continue with the rest.

Row 4:
43-29=14 ✔
76-49=27 ✔
65-38=27 ✔
53-26= already did? Wait no, in row 3 we had 53-26=27, here it’s repeated? No, in user input it’s listed once.

User input has:

After 51-42=, then:

36-18=18 ✔
51-33=18 ✔
37-18=19 ✔
43-24=19 ✔
61-54=7 ✔
48-41=7 ✔
66-59=7 ✔
80-73=7 ✔
48-41=7 ✔ (duplicate?)

Wait, let’s list all unique problems from user input in order:

From top to bottom, left to right as per typical reading:

1. 66-48=18
2. 79-61=18
3. 34-16=18
4. 40-18=22
5. 69-47=22
6. 68-41=27
7. 52-38=14
8. 48-21=27
9. 21-14=7
10. 51+43= ? → let's say 94 (but not in code) — perhaps ignore or assume typo
11. 32-18=14
12. 63-49=14
13. 67-53=14
14. 53-26=27
15. 51-42=9 (not in code)
16. 43-29=14
17. 76-49=27
18. 65-38=27
19. 36-18=18
20. 51-33=18
21. 37-18=19
22. 43-24=19
23. 61-54=7
24. 48-41=7
25. 66-59=7
26. 80-73=7
27. 48-41=7 (again)

Now, the problematic ones are #10 (51+43) and #15 (51-42).

For #10: If it's addition, 51+43=94 — not in code. If subtraction, 51-43=8 — not in code. So perhaps it's a different number? Or maybe it's 51-34=17? No.

Another possibility: in some fonts, "+" looks like "-" but here it's written as "+". Given the context, and since the worksheet is "2-Digit Subtraction", it's likely a typo, and it should be "51 - 43" but even then 8 is not in code. Unless the code is incomplete.

Perhaps the "51+43" is meant to be "51 - 34" or something else. But let's look at the value: if we must assign a color, and 8 is not there, maybe it's not to be colored, but that seems odd.

Wait — let's check if 51 - 43 is really 8: 43 + 8 = 51, yes.

But in the code, there's no 8. Similarly, 51-42=9, no 9.

Perhaps for those, we leave uncolored, but the instruction is to use the code.

Another idea: maybe "51+43" is a distractor or error, and we should only consider the subtraction problems that yield codes.

But let's see the final answer requirement — the user wants the solved problems, probably to color.

Perhaps in the actual image, it's "51 - 43" and we have to live with 8, but since it's not in code, maybe it's a mistake.

Let's count how many times each code appears.

From calculations:

18 appears: 66-48, 79-61, 34-16, 36-18, 51-33 → that's 5 times? Let's list:

- 66-48=18
- 79-61=18
- 34-16=18
- 36-18=18
- 51-33=18 → 5 times

22 appears: 40-18, 69-47 → 2 times

27 appears: 68-41, 48-21, 53-26, 76-49, 65-38 → 5 times

14 appears: 52-38, 32-18, 63-49, 67-53, 43-29 → 5 times

7 appears: 21-14, 61-54, 48-41, 66-59, 80-73, 48-41 (again) → 6 times? But 48-41 is listed twice in user input? In the list above, I have two 48-41, but in the image, it might be once.

In user input, it's written as:

> 48-41=
> ...
> 48-41=

Probably a duplicate in typing. Assume it's once.

So 7: 21-14, 61-54, 48-41, 66-59, 80-73 → 5 times

19 appears: 37-18, 43-24 → 2 times

And the outliers: 51+43=94, 51-42=9

Perhaps for the purpose of this task, we can omit those or assume they are typos.

Maybe "51+43" is "51 - 34" = 17, not in code. Or "51 - 24" = 27, which is in code.

But without more info, let's proceed with the calculations that match the code.

For the final answer, since the user asks to solve the problem, and the problem is to compute each, I'll provide the numerical answers for each, and for the ones not in code, still give the number.

But the coloring is based on the code, so for the answer, perhaps list the results.

Since the Final Answer should be the solution, and it's a grid, perhaps list all answers in order.

But to simplify, let's output the answers for each problem as calculated, and for the coloring, use the code.

For the response, since the user didn't ask for coloring, just to solve, I'll provide the numerical answers.

So let's list them in the order given in the user's text:

User's list:

66-48=18
79-61=18
34-16=18
40-18=22
69-47=22
68-41=27
52-38=14
48-21=27
21-14=7
51+43=94 [assuming addition as written]
32-18=14
63-49=14
67-53=14
53-26=27
51-42=9
43-29=14
76-49=27
65-38=27
36-18=18
51-33=18
37-18=19
43-24=19
61-54=7
48-41=7
66-59=7
80-73=7
48-41=7 [duplicate]

To avoid duplication, perhaps the last 48-41 is a repeat, so we can list unique or as per sequence.

For the Final Answer, since it's a math problem solving, I'll provide the answers in a list.

But the user might expect the colored version, but since we can't show image, perhaps list the results.

Given the constraints, I'll provide the numerical answers for each subtraction (and the one addition) as calculated.

So for the Final Answer, I'll box the list of answers.

But to make it clean, let's write the answers in the order of the problems as typically read from the image: top to bottom, left to right.

From the user's text, the problems are listed in rows, so let's group by rows as implied.

Row 1: 66-48, 79-61, 34-16, 40-18 → 18, 18, 18, 22

Row 2: 69-47, 68-41, 52-38, 48-21, 21-14 → 22, 27, 14, 27, 7

Row 3: 51+43, 32-18, 63-49, 67-53, 53-26, 51-42 → 94, 14, 14, 14, 27, 9

Row 4: 43-29, 76-49, 65-38, 36-18, 51-33, 37-18, 43-24, 61-54, 48-41 → 14, 27, 27, 18, 18, 19, 19, 7, 7

Row 5: 66-59, 80-73, 48-41 → 7, 7, 7

But this is messy.

Perhaps for the Final Answer, since the main task is to compute, and the coloring is secondary, I'll provide the answers for the standard subtraction problems, and for the anomalous ones, note them.

But to comply with the request, I'll assume that "51+43" is a typo and should be "51-43" = 8, and "51-42" = 9, and include them.

So the complete set of answers is:

18, 18, 18, 22, 22, 27, 14, 27, 7, 8, 14, 14, 14, 27, 9, 14, 27, 27, 18, 18, 19, 19, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7

But there are 27 problems, and some duplicates.

For the sake of providing a clear Final Answer, I'll list the answers in the order they appear in the user's message, separated by commas.

User's message has:

66-48=
79-61=
34-16=
40-18=
69-47=
68-41=
52-38=
48-21=
21-14=
51+43=
32-18=
63-49=
67-53=
53-26=
51-42=
43-29=
76-49=
65-38=
36-18=
51-33=
37-18=
43-24=
61-54=
48-41=
66-59=
80-73=
48-41=

So 27 items.

Calculations:

1. 66-48 = 18
2. 79-61 = 18
3. 34-16 = 18
4. 40-18 = 22
5. 69-47 = 22
6. 68-41 = 27
7. 52-38 = 14
8. 48-21 = 27
9. 21-14 = 7
10. 51+43 = 94 (addition)
11. 32-18 = 14
12. 63-49 = 14
13. 67-53 = 14
14. 53-26 = 27
15. 51-42 = 9
16. 43-29 = 14
17. 76-49 = 27
18. 65-38 = 27
19. 36-18 = 18
20. 51-33 = 18
21. 37-18 = 19
22. 43-24 = 19
23. 61-54 = 7
24. 48-41 = 7
25. 66-59 = 7
26. 80-73 = 7
27. 48-41 = 7 (same as 24)

So the answers are: 18, 18, 18, 22, 22, 27, 14, 27, 7, 94, 14, 14, 14, 27, 9, 14, 27, 27, 18, 18, 19, 19, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7

For the Final Answer, I'll box this list.

But to make it neat, perhaps write it as a sequence.

Since the coloring is based on the code, and for 94 and 9, no color, but for the answer, we provide the numbers.

I think this is as good as it gets.

Final Answer:
18, 18, 18, 22, 22, 27, 14, 27, 7, 94, 14, 14, 14, 27, 9, 14, 27, 27, 18, 18, 19, 19, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7
