Vertical Subtraction Practice Problems & Worksheets

Let's solve the subtraction problem $105 - 3$:

Align the numbers vertically to ensure each digit is in the correct place value position:

• Write 105 as:
  $\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 5 \\ \end{array}$

• Place 3 beneath 105 such that it aligns with the rightmost digit (units place):
  $\begin{array}{c} - & & 3 \\ \end{array}$

• Subtract each column starting from the rightmost side (units digit) to the left:

Step-by-step subtraction:

• Units column: $5 - 3 = 2$

• Tens column: There is nothing to subtract with 0, so it remains $0$.

• Hundreds column: Similarly, there is nothing to subtract, so it remains $1$.

Combine the results of these steps to find the answer:

The result of the subtraction $105 - 3 = 102$.

Therefore, the correct answer is $102$.

To find the result of subtracting 9 from 89, we will look at it digit by digit:

• Step 1: Subtract the units digits:
  9 - 9 = 0.
• Step 2: Subtract the tens digits:
  8 - 0 = 8.

The subtraction does not require any borrowing since both digits are smaller than or equal to the digits we are subtracting from.

Thus, the result of the subtraction $89 - 9$ is $80$.

Considering the given multiple-choice options, the correct choice is option 4: $80$.

To solve this subtraction problem, we will use the vertical subtraction method as follows:

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically.
We write 248 over 135, ensuring that corresponding digits are aligned correctly, particularly the units, tens, and hundreds places.

\begin{array}{c} 248 \\ - 135 \\ \hline \end{array}

Step 2: Subtract column by column from right to left.

• Units column: $8 - 5 = 3$. Write 3 under the units column.

• Tens column: $4 - 3 = 1$. Write 1 under the tens column.

• Hundreds column: $2 - 1 = 1$. Write 1 under the hundreds column.

The subtraction does not require any borrowing as each digit in the minuend is greater than or equal to the corresponding digit in the subtrahend.

Step 3: Combine the results.
From left to right, the result is 113.

Therefore, the solution to the subtraction problem is $113$, which corresponds to choice 4.

To solve this problem, we'll perform simple vertical subtraction for the numbers given, 15 and 4:

Step-by-step solution:

• Step 1: Write the numbers in a column, aligning the digits according to place value.
  
• Step 2: Start subtracting from the rightmost column (the ones column).
  In the ones column, subtract 4 from 5:$5 - 4 = 1$.
• Step 3: Move to the tens column. There is no subtraction to perform here since it's only $1 - 0$, which leaves the digit as is.

Thus, there is no borrowing needed because the digits in the minuend are sufficient to carry out the subtraction.

The result of the subtraction $15 - 4$ is $11$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $11$.

The correct multiple-choice answer is option 1: $11$.

Let's solve the subtraction problem $37 - 25$ using vertical subtraction:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically:

  $\begin{array}{c} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 37 \\ - \ \ \ \ 25 \\ \hline \end{array}$

• Step 2: Start with the rightmost column (units place):

  $7 - 5 = 2$

  Write $2$ under the line in the units place.

• Step 3: Move to the left column (tens place):

  $3 - 2 = 1$

  Write $1$ under the line in the tens place. This gives us $12$ as the result.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $12$.
