Two-digit subtraction without borrowing worksheet: Answers and working

1. 52
Taking a one-digit number only changes the ones. Work out 8 − 6; leave the tens alone.
Ones 8 − 6 = 2; the tens stay: 52.
2. 2
Take the tens first: 77 minus 70. Then take the ones.
Tens, then ones: 77 − 70 = 7, 7 − 5 = 2.
3. 42
Taking a one-digit number only changes the ones. Work out 6 − 4; leave the tens alone.
Ones 6 − 4 = 2; the tens stay: 42.
4. 13
Take the tens first: 49 minus 30. Then take the ones.
Tens, then ones: 49 − 30 = 19, 19 − 6 = 13.
5. 2, 0, 20
Tens from tens, ones from ones, then put the two parts together.
2 tens and 0 ones make 20.
6. 28
Compare 59 with 31: how many fewer tens are there, and how many fewer ones?
What taken from 59 leaves 31? 59 − 31 = 28; check: 31 + 28 = 59.
7. 63
Compare 98 with 35: how many fewer tens are there, and how many fewer ones?
What taken from 98 leaves 35? 98 − 35 = 63; check: 35 + 63 = 98.
8. 4, 3, 43
Tens from tens, ones from ones, then put the two parts together.
4 tens and 3 ones make 43.

9. False
Check by adding: put 21 and 32 together and see whether you get 54.
Check: 22 + 32 = 54, so 54 − 32 = 22.
10. True
Check by adding: put 51 and 16 together and see whether you get 67.
Check: 51 + 16 = 67, so 67 − 16 = 51.
11. D. 34 + 11 = 45
To check, add the answer to the number subtracted and see whether you get back to where you started.
The answer 34 plus the 11 subtracted must give the 45 you started with.
12. B. 56 + 23 = 79
To check, add the answer to the number subtracted and see whether you get back to where you started.
The answer 56 plus the 23 subtracted must give the 79 you started with.

Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.

13. 47 dollars
Spending money means subtracting: 78 − 31. Take the tens first, then the ones.
78 − 31 = 47; check: 47 + 31 = 78.
14. 43 books
Books lent out are subtracted: 75 − 32. Take the tens first, then the ones.
Tens, then ones: 75 − 32 = 43.
15. 42 cranes
The 56 folded and the ones still to fold make 98. So take 56 away from 98.
The ones still to fold + 56 = 98, so it is 98 − 56 = 42.
16. 48 stamps
“How many more” is comparing: take the smaller from the bigger, 98 − 50.
Comparing means subtracting: 98 − 50 = 48.
17. 25 books
First check what is asked: only the storybooks. Which number has nothing to do with them?
Only the storybooks are asked about, so the 12 picture books aren't needed: 55 − 30 = 25.
18. 61 books
Books lent out are subtracted: 94 − 33. Take the tens first, then the ones.
Tens, then ones: 94 − 33 = 61.
