Subtraction Sums for Class 4
I. Find the difference between the following numbers
1. 2105 from 4658
2. 3598 from 5615
3. 6268 from 8549
4. 7984 from 9762
Solution:
1. 
1.Start subtracting from units place. Subtract 5 from 8. I.e. 8-5=3. Place the difference 3 in the respective column.
2.Subtract the digits at tens place. i.e. 5-0=5. Place the difference 5 in the respective column.
3.Subtract the digits at hundred’s place. i.e. 6-1=5. place the difference 5 in the respective column.
4.Subtract the digits at thousand’s place i.e. 4-2=2. Place the difference 2 in the respective column.
Subtracting 2105 from 4658 we get 2553 as the difference.
2. 
1.Start subtracting from units place. we know 8 is greater than 5. So borrow 1 from tens then 5 becomes 15. Subtract 8 from 15.
The difference is 7.
2. After giving 1 to the one’s column, 1 becomes 0. Now, let us subtract the digits at the tens place. Here, 9 is greater than 0, so we will borrow 1 from the hundreds column. This will make it 10. So,10 – 9= 1 .
3. we had given 1 to the tens column, so we are left with 5 at the hundreds place. subtract the digits on the hundreds place, So, 5 – 5= 0.
4. Subtract 3 from 5 in the thousands column. Write the difference in the respective column.
Therefore, we get 2017 as the difference by subtracting 3598 from 5615.
3. 
1. Start subtracting from units place. subtract 8 from 9. i.e. 9-8=1.
2. Subtract the digits at tens place. We know 6 is greater than 5. So borrow 1 from hundreds then 5 becomes 15. Subtract 6 from 15. So 15-6=9.
3. After giving 1 to the tens column, we are left with 4 at the hundreds column. Subtract 2 from 4.i.e. 4-2=2.
4. Subtract 6 from 8 in the thousands column.i.e. 8-6=2.
Hence, we get 2291 by subtracting 6268 from 8559.
4. 
1. Start subtracting from the unit’s place. we know 4 is greater than 2. So borrow 1 from tens then 2 becomes 12. Subtract 4 from 12.
The difference is 8.
2. After giving 1 to the one’s column, 6 becomes 5. Now, let us subtract the digits at the tens place. Here, 8 is greater than 5, so we will borrow 1 from the hundreds column. This will make it 15. So,15 – 8= 7 .
3. we had given 1 to the tens column, so we are left with 6 at the hundreds place. subtract the digits on the hundreds place. Here 9>6. Borrow 1 from the thousands column. This will make it 16. So, 16 – 9= 7.
4. After giving 1 to the hundreds column, 9 becomes 8. Subtract 7 from 8 in the thousands column. Write the difference 1 in the respective column.
Therefore, we get 1778 as the difference by subtracting 7984 from 9762.
II. Find the number which is 790 less than 4980?
Solution:
1. Subtract the digits in the unit’s place. 0-0=0. Place 0 at the respective column.
2. In the tens column, 9 >8. Borrow 1 from the hundreds column. 8 becomes 18. Subtract 9 from 18. i.e. 18-9=9.
3. We had given 1 to the tens column, So we are left with 8 at the hundreds place. Subtract the digits at the hundreds place. Here 8-7=1. Write the difference 1 under the respective column.
4. Subtract 0 from 4 in the thousands place. Write the difference 1 under the respective column.
Therefore, the number is 4190 which is 790 less than 4980.
III. Estimate the difference by rounding off the given numbers:
| S.No | Question | Rounded numbers | Estimated Sum | Exact Sum | Which is Bigger |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10235 – 4733 | Nearest 10’s | |||
| 2 | 2534 – 1582 | Nearest 100’s | |||
| 3 | 9538 – 7436 | Nearest 1000’s |
Solution:
| S.No | Question | Rounded numbers | Estimated Sum | Exact Sum | Which is Bigger |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10235 – 4733 | Nearest 10’s | 10240 -4730=5510 | 5502 | estimated sum |
| 2 | 2534 – 1582 | Nearest 100’s | 2530 -1580=950 | 952 | exact sum |
| 3 | 9538 – 7436 | Nearest 1000’s | 9540 -7440=2100 | 2102 | exact sum |
IV. Using the Subtraction Method, Express the middle number in two different ways.
a. 
b.
Solution:
a. 
We can get the difference 2220, by subtracting 30 from 2250 and subtracting 40 from 2260.
b. 
We can get the difference 3720, by subtracting 40 from 3760 and subtracting 60 from 3780.
V. write the next two numbers in the series
1. 1000, 800, 600,____,_____ .
2. 9900, 9850, 9800,_____,_____.
3. 300, 280, 260,_____,______.
Answers:
1. Here 200 is subtracted from the previous number. i.e. 1000-200=800, 800-200=600.
For finding the next two numbers in the series subtract 200 from 600 i.e. 600 – 200=400, 400 – 200=200
Therefore, the next two numbers in the series are 400, 200.
2. Here 50 is subtracted from the previous number. i.e. 9900-50=9850, 9850-50=9800.
For finding the next two numbers in the series subtract 50 from 9800 i.e. 9800 – 50=9750, 9750 – 50=9700
Therefore, the next two numbers in the series are 9750, 9700.
3. Here 20 is subtracted from the previous number. i.e. 300-20=280, 280-20=260.
For finding the next two numbers in the series subtract 20 from 260 i.e. 260 – 20=240, 240 – 20=220
Therefore, the next two numbers in the series are 240, 220.
VI. An offer is running at the Shopping mall, Any purchase that is more than 3000, will get an instant discount of 300. Raju bought 2 shirts that cost Rs 3500 and one purse that cost 1000. Find the money paid by Raju at the store?
Solution:
Given,
Raju bought 2 shirts= Rs 3500
Raju bought purse=Rs 1000
Any purchase that is more than Rs 3000 will get an instant discount=Rs 300
Total money Raju paid=Rs 3500 +Rs 1000-Rs 300
=4500-300
=Rs 4200
Hence, the Money paid by Raju at the store is Rs 4200.
VII. There were 200 apples in the fruit store. 120 apples were sold. Find out how many apples were there in the fruit store?
Solution:
Given,
No. of apples in the fruit store=200
No. of apples sold=120
No. of apples in the fruit store=200-120=80
Therefore, 80 apples were there in the fruit store.
VIII. Rajesh has the money Rs 25000 in his bank account. He withdraws Rs 2000 from his account. How much money was there in his account?
Solution:
Given,
Rajesh has the money in the bank account= Rs 25000
Rajesh withdraw money in the bank account=Rs 2000
Total money in his bank account=25000-2000=Rs 23000
Therefore, the total money in the bank account is Rs 23000.
