Correct Answer

Given: Children who bought Pusaw = 83 Children who bought fruit plates = 46

Calculation: Find the difference: 83 - 46 Step 1: Write 83 - 46 Step 2: Cannot subtract 6 from 3, so regroup Step 3: Borrow 1 ten from 8 tens, leaving 7 tens Step 4: 1 ten = 10 ones, so 10 + 3 = 13 ones Step 5: Subtract ones: 13 - 6 = 7 Step 6: Subtract tens: 7 - 4 = 3 Step 7: Result = 37

Answer: ∴ 37 more children bought Pusaw than fruit plates.

Explanation

Find the difference: 83 - 46 = 37. Using regrouping: 83 = 8 T + 3 O. We need to subtract 6 ones from 3 ones, so regroup 1 ten as 10 ones. Now we have 7 T + 13 O. Subtract: 13 - 6 = 7 ones, 7 - 4 = 3 tens. Answer: 37.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Write 83 - 46

  2. Step 2: Cannot subtract 6 from 3, so regroup

  3. Step 3: Borrow 1 ten from 8 tens, leaving 7 tens

  4. Step 4: 1 ten = 10 ones, so 10 + 3 = 13 ones

  5. Step 5: Subtract ones: 13 - 6 = 7

  6. Step 6: Subtract tens: 7 - 4 = 3

  7. Step 7: Answer: 37
