Congratulations on all the correct answers to last week's problem!

Now for a new problem.  Again, the way you work out the answer is of great importance!

I have $67.  I buy a box of chocolates for $9.
How much money will I have left?

58
How I did it?

You can do 67-10= 57
But It's just nine so put one back!

I think it is 58 because 67 takeaway 7 is 60 but it is 9 you have to takeaway so takeaway 2 more is 58.
Is it 58?

I think it is 58 because I pretended the nine was a ten and 67 take away ten is 57 but because it's a nine so add one back.

I think it is,58 because 67 - 7 equals 60, and 2, more left. 60 - 2 equals 58.

Manraj said...

I think it is 58 because I know that 7 + 2 = 9 so 67 - 9 = 58. Is it 58 ?.

67-9=58
make the nine a ten and add the 60+10=70-1=69-11=58
