37
47
57

Explanation: Subtract the ones first: 4 - 7 needs regrouping, so 64 becomes 5 tens and 14 ones. Then 14 - 7 = 7 and 5 - 2 = 3. The answer is 37.
2
What is 83 - 46?
27
37

What is 152 - 38?
124
114

Explanation: Regroup 152 as 1 hundred, 4 tens, and 12 ones. Then 12 - 8 = 4, 4 - 3 = 1, and 1 hundred stays. The answer is 114.
4
What is 301 - 159?
152
142
132
242
Explanation: Regroup carefully across the zeros: 301 becomes 2 hundreds, 9 tens, and 11 ones. Then 11 - 9 = 2, 9 - 5 = 4, and 2 - 1 = 1. The answer is 142.

What is 425 - 178?
257
247
267

Explanation: Regroup 425 as 3 hundreds, 11 tens, and 15 ones. Then 15 - 8 = 7, 11 - 7 = 4, and 3 - 1 = 2. The answer is 247.
6
Which subtraction is correct?
72 - 35 = 47
72 - 35 = 37
72 - 35 = 27
72 - 35 = 57
Explanation: Since 12 - 5 = 7 and 6 - 3 = 3 after regrouping, the correct result is 37.
7
Which of these subtraction problems need regrouping?
52 - 18
74 - 21
63 - 47
90 - 34
Explanation: Regrouping is needed when the ones digit in the top number is smaller than the ones digit being subtracted. That happens in 52 - 18, 63 - 47, and 90 - 34.
8
What is 600 - 275?
335
325
315
425
Explanation: Regroup 600 as 5 hundreds, 9 tens, and 10 ones. Then 10 - 5 = 5, 9 - 7 = 2, and 5 - 2 = 3. The answer is 325.

Frequently asked questions

A diagnostic helps the tutor see the child's real level in 30–40 minutes: which topics are mastered and where the gaps are. Based on the result, the teacher builds an individual plan instead of working blind.

Yes, you can view all tasks and answers on this page. But the diagnostic is most useful in a lesson with a tutor who explains mistakes right away and adjusts the plan.

Roughly 30–40 minutes depending on the number of tasks and the child's pace. It is a full first lesson.
