Serious Subtraction



Serious Subtraction

We are learning to solve subtraction problems using whole and decimal numbers.




Times Table Practice:




3 x 3 =9 5 x 5 =25 8 x 7 =56 12 x 10 =120 4 x 6 =24 5 x 7 =35 2 x 4 =8 3 x 8 =24 9 x 8 =72 4 x 7 =28

9 x 7 =63




Show your working for the following problems, either on here or in your books





Your sister gives you $125 to spend on lollies. If you spend $65 how much money would you have left over? 125-65=60



Zaeeda has bought her sister a new puppy. She has $500 in her bank account as she heads to the shops.




She first buys a dog bed for $60. How much money does she have left? Firstly I did 500-60=440




She then buys a bowl for $25. How much does she have left? 440-25=415,another way by doing is 40-25=15,then you just add the 4 hundred.




Then she buys 3 chew toys. Each toy costs $3.50. How much does she have left? Firstly I add the chewy Toys and then my answer for that is 10.50c, then I move on to do 415-10.50c=404.5




Finally she buys a diamond collar for the dog which costs $154.50. How much is left in her account at the end of the day? First I do 404-154.5=249.5, for an example I did 4-4=0,now nothing, then I move on to do 50,the five is from the 54,and the 0 is from 4-4=0,so that I made was 50,then I did 50-1=49,249.5




Kalani’s python has become ill and needs to go to the vets. He has $100 in his wallet.

The cost of the vet visit is $65.50. How much money is left in Kalani’s wallet? Firstly I did 65.50-100=34.5




AJ is also at the vet with his rabbit. His rabbit has had expensive surgery. If AJ has 10.25 left in his bank account and he started with $525.80, how much did the surgery cost? First I did 25-10.25= 14.75.




Zyla’s puppy is growing every month. He used to weigh 5.67 kg but he now weighs 6.34kg. How much weight has he put on? Firstly I notiest, that he just went 1kg,then I do 67-34=33,then that means he just went 1.33kg.
