Of course! Let's solve each subtraction word problem step by step. The worksheet says
“no regrouping”, which means we can subtract the digits in each place (ones and tens) directly without borrowing.

Problem 1:
> Newton catches 25 fish in a lake.
> He puts 13 back.
> How many fish does he have now?
This is a subtraction problem:
We start with 25 and take away 13.
Calculation:
25 – 13 = ?
- Subtract the ones: 5 – 3 =
2
- Subtract the tens: 2 – 1 =
1
✔ So, 25 – 13 =
12
Answer: 12

Problem 2:
> There are 39 birds in a tree.
> A loud noise scares 16 away.
> How many birds are left in the tree?
Subtraction: 39 – 16
- Ones: 9 – 6 =
3
- Tens: 3 – 1 =
2
✔ So, 39 – 16 =
23
Answer: 23

Problem 3:
> Tyger has 46 apples.
> Sally has 21 apples.
> How many more apples does Tyger have?
This asks for the difference — subtract Sally’s amount from Tyger’s:
46 – 21
- Ones: 6 – 1 =
5
- Tens: 4 – 2 =
2
✔ So, 46 – 21 =
25
Answer: 25

Problem 4:
> There are 47 cars in a parking lot.
> 32 of the cars drive away.
> How many cars are left?
Subtraction: 47 – 32
- Ones: 7 – 2 =
5
- Tens: 4 – 3 =
1
✔ So, 47 – 32 =
15
Answer: 15

Problem 5:
> There are 37 hamsters for sale in a pet shop.
> 25 get sold.
> How many hamsters are left in the shop?
Subtraction: 37 – 25
- Ones: 7 – 5 =
2
- Tens: 3 – 2 =
1
✔ So, 37 – 25 =
12
Answer: 12
