Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Each time we consider borrowing 2 digits, and then we place
00:06 0 is less than 2
00:09 The tens digit is also 0 so we can't borrow from it
00:12 We'll borrow from the hundreds place for the tens
00:16 So now instead of 0, we'll have 10 in the tens place!
00:22 And now we'll borrow ten from the tens place for the ones
00:25 Which will change the tens from 10 to 9
00:29 So now instead of 0, we'll have 10 in the ones place!
00:33 Now subtract ones from ones, and place in ones
00:36 Subtract tens from tens, and place in tens
00:42 Subtract hundreds from hundreds, and place in hundreds
00:46 And that's the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the subtraction problem 300−152 300 - 152 , we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers vertically, positioning 300 over 152.
  • Step 2: Start from the rightmost column (units place):
    • The units column has 0−2 0 - 2 , which requires borrowing since 0 is less than 2.
    • Go to the tens column. It contains 0, so borrow from the hundreds column.
    • Reduce the hundreds place from 3 to 2, changing the tens 0 into 10 (due to borrowing).
  • Step 3: Return to the units place:
    • Now, the units place consists of 10−2 10 - 2 , which equals 8 8 .
  • Step 4: Move to the tens column:
    • With the tens now holding 10 10 , perform 10−5 10 - 5 , resulting in 5 5 .
  • Step 5: Complete the hundreds column:
    • Perform 2−1 2 - 1 , resulting in 1 1 .
  • Step 6: Combine the results from each column to get the final answer: 148.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 148 148 .
