Count to Subtract!

Dolma bought 4 dozen (48) bananas and gave one to each of her friends. 13 bananas were left. How many friends got a banana?

As you know, this can be found by counting forward from 13. It is easier to count in jumps of 10. You can also use Kittu's home shown on page 29 to solve these problems.

48 - 13

10 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 35

So    48 - 13 = 35

• 56 - 37 =
   10 + 10 + 1 = So,    56 - 37 = 

  
  

• 60 - 45 =
   5 + 10 = So,    60 - 45 = 

  
  


• 80 - 59 =
   ++ =
  

So,    80 - 59 =




• 63 - 85 = 

• 84 - 69 = 

• 60 - 20 = 

• 59 - 50 = 

All the King's Horses....

Once there was a king who could count only up to 9. Up to what number can you count?
The king loved horses. But he could never count all of them. He kept them in such a way that he needed to count only up to 9 from each side.

How many horses in all did the king have?.

One day a visitor with 4 horses came there. It was getting dark so he wanted to stay there at night. But the horse-keeper was scared.
If the king saw these extra horses he would be very angry! The visitor said - do not worry. The king will never know. So he arranged the horses like this:

How many horses are there now?

At night the king came to count the horses. Along each side he counted 9 horses. Ah! That's fine - he said. Then he happily went to sleep.
In the morning the clever visitor tried another trick. He took out his own 4 horses. But he also ran away with some of the king's horses. He left the king's horses standing in this way.

The silly king did not find any horse missing. Can you help him?

How many horses are now left?

How many of the king's horses were taken away?
