Subtract hundreds and tens
Subtract hundreds and tens helps children practise subtracting three-digit numbers that contain only hundreds and tens — building confidence before full three-digit subtraction. Read the short guide and look through the examples before choosing online practice or a printable worksheet.
How to solve this
- Subtract hundreds from hundreds and tens from tens; borrow from the hundreds if tens are not enough.
- To borrow: reduce the hundreds digit by 1 and add 100 (10 tens) to the tens column.
- Check by adding: result + subtracted number must equal the starting number.
