Find the missing digits.
- B
- C
B128 - 14C2 = 2696(a)
In the hundreds place, 1 is less than 4.
So, there is regrouping in the thousands place.
B - 1 - 1 = 2
B = 2 + 1 + 1
B = 4
(b)
In the ones place, 8 is more than 2.
So, there is no regrouping in the tens place.
2 - C = 9
In the tens place, 9 is more than 2.
This means that there is a regrouping done in the hundreds place so that 12 can substract a certain number to get 9.
C = 12 - 9
C = 3
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 3
