A subtrahend is the number being subtracted in a subtraction problem. Robert
misread the digit l in the ones place of the subtrahend as 7 and the digit 7 in the tens place of the subtrahend as 1. The difference in the subtraction then became 222. What would be the actual difference if he had read the numbers correctly?

Respuesta :

From the calculation below, the actual difference, if Robert had read the numbers correctly, is 168.

How to use subtrahend in the calculation?

Let X represents the number from which subtrahend is subtracted.

Therefore, we can calculate X as follows:

X – 17 = 222

X = 222 + 17 = 239

If the subtrahend is read correctly as 71 and then subtracted from 239, we have:

Actual difference = 239 – 71

Actual difference = 168
