Find the missing digits.
- A
- B
A835 - 53B1 = 1494(a)
In the hundreds place, 8 is more than 3.
So, there is no regrouping in the thousands place.
A - 5 = 1
A = 1 + 5
A = 6
(b)
In the ones place, 5 is more than 1.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
3 - B = 9
In the tens place, 9 is more than 3.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 13 can substract a certain number to get 9.
B = 13 - 9
B = 4
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 4
